fuji s100fs

Hi, just bought a fuji s100fs, (used, but in great condition) and so far very pleased. Does anyone know of a teleconverter suitable for this camera, I have read good things about the raynox 2020 but they are quite pricey. Would need to look for a used one I think. Anyone have any experience with this or other teleconverters on this camera? thanks, jacqui :)

Hi, just an update, I ended up getting an olympus 14b teleconverter for a great price and it works really well, read that it's a pretty sharp lens and very good so thought I would give it a try, hopefully be able to try it out properly tomorrow if the birds are kind enough to visit the feeeder in the morning :) jacqui.

I did use one of those on a Panasonic FZ28 and got some reasonable results, the conversion factor is I think actually closer to 1.5x as it is 1.47 rather than 1.4 which should give you an equivilent of about 20x at the maximum.

The 14B is actually 1.45x, but suffers a little from CA. Just be careful about high contrast scenes, though you can manage some CA in Post Processing
