Really? From where does this come?
Can I (you) rely on it?
Under what conditions is either/both obtained?

There exist numerous places online that exhibit those changes resulting
from accesssory lenses.
Following Oly's instructions, with either of it's add-ons, the results
are excellent.
Provided, of course, you don't try to make a silk purse out of mulberry
squeezings!
People put down the mere 1.4X given by Oly's tele add-on, but realize,
that gives you some, what is it, 196mm equivalent?
Good heavens, what's wrong with that?
Considering there's almost no deleterious effect from the addition of
that lens, it's marvelous!

Well, thanks!

I think I'll put my 24mm lens on an OM2, and mark the frame size to
record how much it takes in, then compare with my C08080 at widest angle
(shortest f/l).
