Need more zoom for occasional shots of birds. Do not want to spend a fortune on a 300mm lens. Was wondering if someone makes a x2 adapter for my Olympus OEM 40-150mm 4/3 lens that came with my E-PL2. Oh and yes, only daytime shots.

TIA

I have never seen one, but, if one did exist, you would 2/stops at each end... Ouch.... f/3.5 is now f/8, slightly less, and f/5.6 is now f11 at the long end.

Have you thought about a 300 or 500 mirror lens? eBay always has a bunch of used ones.... f/5.6 or f/8 though, and funcky looking OOF areas.

A used Nikkor 100-300 f/5.6 is on eBay at $125.00 BIN.... I'd guess at the 300 end, it may be f/8, not too bad I guess for birding.

What do you mean by an X2 adapter?
