Olympus MC-20 2x Teleconverter Overview

Designed to be attached between a compatible lens and a Micro Four Thirds mount camera, the Olympus MC-20 M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter doubles the magnification of select Olympus lenses, dramatically boosting the apparent focal length of those lenses with a minimal increase to the size or weight of the camera and lens combination.

Electronic communication between an attached camera and lens is supported, maintaining autofocus and image stabilization, including Olympus FAST AF as well as 5-Axis Image Stabilization features whenever possible. Inside this teleconverter, nine optical elements including one HR lens, in four groups with Olympus's ZERO coating help to ensure clarity and color fidelity while reducing ghosting and flare.

Sealed against dust, moisture, and the effects of freezing temperatures, this teleconverter is constructed for dependable weather resistance. When used with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO Lens, this teleconverter also enables tele-macro photography with up to 0.96x magnification as well as up to +5 EV stops of image stabilization with the Olympus OM-D E-M1X Mirrorless Digital Camera.

Asked by: Anonymous
The Olympus MC-20 M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter will not work with the Olympus 12-100 pro lens, it will work with the Olympus 40-150mm and 300mm pro lenses. And it is supposed to work with the upcoming 150-400mm Pro lens.

Is there any AF or AE or OIS functionality with ...

Is there any AF or AE or OIS functionality with this converter using a Panasonic lens? Am I correct to assume, at least, that the converter will attach to any MFT lens and camera allowing manual focus and functionality?
Asked by: William
This teleconverter will generally not work with Panasonic lenses, and it only works with a few select Olympus lenses, including the 40-150 pro, 300mm pro, and the new Olympus 100-400 lens. The front element of the teleconverter sticks out, which prevents its use with most lenses. I have the Panasonic Leica 100-400 lens, and the teleconverter will not work with it. If you have a Panasonic lens with a recessed rear element, it might work. I do not know of such a lens, but others might.

The specs state that this converter is for the OM-D E-M1X. One reviewer claimed it did not work with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II . Has anyone else had more experience (positive) with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II ?
Asked by: Alan
The Olympus MC-20 M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter is fully compatible with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Mirrorless Camera and all Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras. Keep in mind this only works with specific lenses. Also make sure the firmware is up to date on the camera and the lens. For the review referenced, there are multiple 40-150mm lenses available from Olympus. It is only the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO that would work. If using any others, which is possibly what they did, it would not work.
