When is the last time anyone has seen an Oly 1.5x
teleconverter for sale (or exist)? Neither B&H or KEH
has had one in the last 2 years I believe. And I
haven't seen one on evilBay yet. Are they really rare
or this this a coincidence of absence that I've
experienced.

Um, well, when I checked B&H's website (about 30 seconds ago) they claim to have the 1.4X-A teleconverter (*not* a 1.5) in stock, new, for $599.95 U.S. Amongst other reasons for its price, it is matched to several of Oly's premium lenses, and according to reviews and lens tests I've seen over the years, truly does produce an outstanding image combined with these lenses. I doubt it would fit other lenses -- its front element protrudes quite a bit.
