This
is a used DOI Teleconverter 2X for Olympus OM manual focus SLR cameras
and lenses. It supports automatic stop-down and open aperture metering
on compatible bodies. It includes front and rear caps and its original
leatherette case. Condition is clean and working well in all respects
with very slight internal dust otherwise very good, no fungus, and no
damage to the glass.
I tested it on a Canon Eos 40D body with OM adapter and a Tamron
Adaptall 35-70mm zoom with Olympus mount which I am selling separately.
Weather was slightly overcast. All pictures were taken at f8, ISO 800,
with the lens set to 50mm and f8. Pictures with the converter were taken
a few minutes after pictures without it, and lighting may have changed
slightly.
Church (230 yards) 1/2500th f8 without converter and 1/800th f8 with converter.
Tree (30 yards) 1/1250th f8 and 1/400th f8
Garden (Bird bath 17 yards) 1/200th f8
and 1/80th f8
Brick bits and coin (7ft) 1/320th and 1/125th f8
Plants on end of roof (11ft) 1/320th and 1/80th f8
Buyers
should be aware that all telephoto and macro converters reduce the
amount of light reaching the film/sensor - usually two stops or so for a
x2 teleconverter - and may soften images and reduce contrast. They give
their best results with prime lenses (standard and moderate telephoto)
and are less satisfactory with zooms and wide angle lenses.
