Conversion lenses and compact digital camera
Hi,
I have Olympus camera c-765 and I'd like to use tele and wide conversion lenses. My question is: are conversion lenses compatible with all compact digital cameras as long as there is proper adapter on camera? Do I need to buy Olympus lenses or similar conversion lenses of other companies can be used as well? Ok, I understand that on DSLR lenses can be easily exchanged (and conversion lenses added), but on compact camera? Regards, m |

I use a Tiffen wide converter on my Oly 2020z and 5060 (as well as an
Oly 1.4 teleconverer). The Tiffen is identified clearly as a lens that will work with my cameras and adapters. However, I have tried other converters (eg. Sony) and they would not work with my Olys. I would only stick with ones that are stated to work with your particular camera. The quality of non-Oly conversion lenses varies a lot, but I am very happy with the new Tiffen. It is light and produces excellent results. I've purchased my lenses from Bugeyedigital.com, which clearly states compatibility. madz wrote: Hi, I have Olympus camera c-765 and I'd like to use tele and wide conversion lenses.
