Re: Olympus Stylus 1s with various TCs and stacking TCs
1
My apologies to the OP but rather than create an additional post on the same topic, I will post my photos here.
I have been using the Stylus 1 and 1s for over 10 years. These are the TCs that I have used with it.
- Nikon TC-E15ED (N1.5x) 54mm on camera side and 58mm outside
- Olympus TCON-17X (O1.7x) 55mm on camera side
- Nikon TC-E17ED (N1.7x) 60mm on camera side
- Raynox 2.2x (R2.2x) 62mm on camera side and 82mm outside
- Raynox 2.55x (R2.55x) 49mm on camera side and 49mm outside
- Canon TL-55L 3X (C3.0x) 55mm on camera side and 58mm outside
The Canon has a focus ring on the TC which allows close focusing when needed. It’s also one of Canon's L lenses.
This post is show TC stacking potential and not as an exact test of capabilities. A subject at a closer distance may give different results.
The components
What I chose to use is the Stylus 1s with the CLA-13 adapter. The Stylus 1s is set to auto-ISO aperture priority at 2.8 to bring in the most light and then from reading the shutter speed and ISO you can tell how much light is lost when using the converters or combinations of such. The dark corners on some of the photos can be reduced with a higher aperture making the combinations less handholdable. IBIS is enabled and all shots were taken handheld from my sunroom through a large plate of glass. The subject is a water tower several miles from my home but visible (some haze) from the hill which rests my sunroom. The converter setting for the TCON-17 is enabled for all shots except the first two. All are JPEGs only. By looking at the cell towers on top of the water tower and the structure of the tower you see the changes to clarity.
