i already have the fuji adapter tube for the camera, but only use it for mounting the polarising filter on at the mo, i always intended getting the teleconverter to go with it, but for some reason never got round to it, now i find they're not about any more so i need a suitable alternative, i'd prefer not to have to use step down adaptors if possible, but just wondered if anyone knew of any suitable 55mm tcon lenses

I should add that there is more than 1 version of the TCON 14. There's the bottom range and there's the Pro. The thread mounts are different.

With your bog standard TCON 14, the mount thread is 46mm. The Pro 14B has a 55mm mount thread. The quality is not comparable

As for the TCON 17, there's at least 2 that i know of - the 17c and 17f

The 14B ( the pro version ) is the one with 62mm thread mount. You need a step up ring of 55mm > 62mm

I have for sale both the 14B pro and the proper mount ring. Its not a tube, as you describe though. I never had to use any ' tube ' to mount my OLY TCON 14B on my S5600. Just the regular step up ring

To my knowledge, none of the TCON's are 55mm mount thread. You wouldnt want to use a step down ring anyways, much better to use a step up ring

The standard cheapie / 46mm mount thread




The pro 14B / 62mm mount thread

because of the way the fuji lense works the lense actually extends from the body by about an inch and a half when you switch it on, the adaptor ring puts the 55 mm thread in front of this point so that the lense doesn't crash through the front of your filter when you switch it on, so i would presumably need a step up from the 55 at the end of this tube to 62 at the camera end of the tcon lense.

how much are you asking for these by the way.

I see - i wish i could remember what the lens did on my S5600. It couldnt have moved much though, as all i used was the thin ( about 4mm thick ) ring.

I'd be after £45 for both + postage. I've owned both the TC and the step ring from new

The T-con 17 (that is all it is marked as) I have has a 55mm thread, fits directly onto my Panasonic FZ30 and is excellent.
