Does this model, being 20 dollars more expensive than just the 500mm, comes with with the 2x telephoto converter?

Yes it comes with the telephoto converter. I ended up with two as I purchased it separetely.
371805
Yes it does (or did when I ordered it). I didn't think it did, so ordered a teleconverter as well, and I now have two of them.

In my case it did. But even if it doesn't, the price for one is reasonable at $30. The lens, Opteka 500, is a mirror lens and it is excellent for nature and sport photography, but unless you intend to really try it and put it through its paces, and you are a new at photography, I would wait until you learn a bit more. You may want to have it, just in case, but it is a cumbersome lens to handle, and you may find yourself abandoning it for more manageable model.

It has a converter. The lens is fine but rather difficult to use in that you really need a bipod to use it. It takes good bird pictures. the 2x works fine as well but again it is hard to focus on the target. Practice is the solution.

As the camera is showed in the advertisement, yes it does.I bought the same item and it went with 50mm lens

Yes it comes with one fixed lens that cannot be removed. I've used my camera for 4 years to take great close-up pictures for my 1,000s of ebay products as well as using the 20X optical zoom to take far-away photos and HD videos while on vacation in the mountains. As long as I kept extra rechargeable batteries with me, I've had no probelms with my camera.

You can ABSOLUTELY add a 2 x telephoto or wide angle lens. I haven't done so but the lens is threaded and I plan on getting one shortly. Fun camera so far and looking forward to better weather to really put it through it's paces.

no, it's the body only. You have to buy your own lenses. Unless you find one sold as a kit with a lens. The one listed @ $6799 is body only.

Yes, it does. As it is a manual lens with fixed focal, ( f:8 ) you must used only on manual mode in your camera. It come with nikon mount, so is not necesary any other device. Very versatile, well builded, a cheaped mode to aproched to very long telephoto.

it does come with a 2x magnifier. I have not actually used it while shooting. It seems like a solid little piece of equipment considering the price and country of origin. Hope that helped.
1882802
yes it does. But do yourself a favor and buy the 20mm lens as it is MUCH SHARPER

No. A 2x teleconverter would go between the camera body and the lens. This is a bridge camera, not a DSLR, the lens does not detach.

Thanks, Tech. Funny that teleconverters are available for so many other size lenses but not this one. I could have lived with a 1.4x. Like you said, I'll have to live with what I've got... until I can pony up $1500+ for Canon's 100-400mm zoom.I guess I'd better plan on having a good number of 8mb and 16mb cards with me and shoot JPEG and RAW so I can seriously crop and/or enlarge the best shots (which will be many if the weather is good). I want some 20" x 30" or 24" x 36" posters from what I'm shooting. A telecoverter would have helped.

Hi J. Vincent Legg, The SAL-20TC 2x Teleconverter will double the magnification of the Sony SAL70400G Lens. The light or exposure will still be dependent on the Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO settings of your camera. Vincent

Yes, Digital Tele-Converter is described on page 84 in the User Manual: www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/E-M10_MANUAL_ENGLISH.PDFI've never tried it until now, because I prefer to crop the image afterwards (with photoshop) if necessary. (This has the same effect in terms of image quality.)

The short answer is no. I know that Nikon's 2x will not work with that lens because I have it myself. I also know that the Sigma teleconverters are specifically designed for Sigma optics. But beyond that the Nikon 70-300 is not sharp enough, or bright enough, to benefit from a 2x teleconverter. Yes, you might get a fuzzy 600mm out of it, if it would even attach without damage, but you would loose autofocus and your widest aperture would effectively be f/11!

Yes it does! The optical zoom is 16X, full electronic zoom is 64X, and can be useful. Works when shooting HD video on this camera as well as when taking pictures. Do be advised though that you will have all the normal limitations imposed by using electronic zoom in any camera (no matter the price or quality!). These limitations are primarily the loss of resolution (64X zoom imposed onto a 16X optical lens means have an effective loss of resolution of roughly 16 times). The resulting image (at 64X zoom) has the "effective" resolution of a one megapixel camera, more or less! Second, it is very hard to hold the camera still enough for a good image with that much magnification. Works fine on a tripod, though. Hope this is helpful.

You can get a Canon TC-DC58E Tele-Converter 1.4X for $180.00 but you also need the LA-DC58L conversion lens adapter for $37.00 to use it. Both are available at B&H; Photo.

It will only work in manual focus mode with the 50-500mm (i.e. you'll have to focus the lens manually). Like any other 2x converter it will not only double the focal length, but also decrease the aperture by two stop making the lens too dark for any camera to focus automatically (i.e. f/6.3 -&gt; f/18 @ 500mm)! The camera autofocus only works on lens faster than f/2.8, like the 70-200 f/2.8 (or 120-300 f/2.8) for example with this 2x teleconverter
