which converter lens can make a snowflake larger

Good product, but wrong direction... this extends your len's focal length, but you want to shoot macro or shorter focal lengths, which requires (simpler) macro tubes. Some preserve autofocus, some don't, but all work. Lighting is key. Normal flashes will do poorly on a macro shot. Consider an LED ring light, or use a (chilled) pane of glass with bounce lighting or light from behind.

This converter will magnify a snowflake so it will appear larger, though how much larger depends on the primary lens. I use my 1.4 converter with a 70-300 lens and it definitely helps when photographing birds or wildlife. Never tried with snowflakes.

You must have the 16mm F2.8 in addition to this converter. It an accessory to the SEL16F28 Interchangeable Alpha E-Moune lens. There's also a fish-eye conversion lens available VCL-ECF1

try putting your finger in front of your lens, move it closer to the lens or further away until you can see it clearly. I use a 300mm lens and extension tubes. you have to experiment with where to put your subject. be patient, it works! I got snowflake photos this year!

No, sorry -- there are still no teleconverters available that will fit EF-S lenses like your 55-250mm.

Yes. Olympus has a converter compatibility chart at their website.Here is the link to the chart: http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/accessories/lenses/lens-converters.html?ici=lensesnav_lens-accessories-conventers&icn;=topnav

I took some pictures of snowflakes and have perfect detail. I was about 3-4 inches away and they were about 1/4 inch diameter. I was just using automatic setting. I haven't tried the advanced features b/c I have an SLR. I can't speak for artistic close ups where you'd want to vary your depth of field.

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway fr quality reasons. It is a bad idea to use a converter for a wide-to.tele-zoom. Teleconverters are best for fast lenses (2.0...4.0) and longer focal lenghts (fixed or fast pro telezooms).

Unfortunately, the focus to infinity is not available: 2.5 - 3 meters (8-10 feet) is maximum.I use this converter with Nikon D5100 and with the specially adjusted, the old Russian lens Jupiter-9.http://cameras.alfredklomp.com/jupiter9/This is a very specific lens.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202107820475164&set;=a.3021099764648.2131658.1177290511&type;=1

It's quite large for a camera light, but if you really wanted to you can use a cold shoe adapter.

Barry, I have a Cannon 6d and a Cannon 75-300, 1:4-5.6 and the converter works just fine. The manufacturer states that the converter is not compatible with EF-S lenses. I've not used the converter extensively, but I am happy with the few pictures that I have taken. Hope this helps.

Sorry, there are no teleconverters for EF-S lenses available in the US that I'm aware of. I've heard rumors of EF-S compatible (Kenko?) teleconverters from Hong Kong but I still haven't been able to verify. Either way, its likely that a teleconverter with the 55-250 wouldn't be much, if any, better than simply cropping the image (might as well put the T1i's extra megapixels to good use). Plus a 1.4X teleconverter would add a stop and a 2X would add 2 stops putting your lens' aperture above f5.6, the minimum needed for auto-focus to function.

Yes. I use a Helder 1.7x converter I found at B&H Photo. Works well but I use a long lens brace because it feels like it strains the camera without it. More info in my Amazon review of the camera.

You are right, Cokin Z will not fit the big beast because it can be used only if the lens has filter threads and 14-24 has none.Cheers.

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.

I use the converter with my Canon EF 70-300mm and it works fine but I don't know anything about the L lens.

Don't bother with this converter. The glass lens is so soft, it ruins a crisp FD lens. It's not a good fit either.

FWIW, Olympus has an explanation of the converter's compatibility here:http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/LensConverterChart.pdf
