Olympus Reviews

I got this adapter because I found it cheaper than Olympus' version, the CLA-1 adapter. However, when I put it on my C-3040, I found most of the pictures I took demonstrated vignetting (hazy shadows around the edges). Despite the fact that this adapter did physically fit on my lens, it did not do the job I needed it to do. I have since returned it and purchased the CLA-1 adapter and have had not problems with it yet.

I've had this "adapter" on my C-3040Z for a year now and haevn't had any problems with vignetting. The only time I might detect a very slight issue is when I have more then two filters on the camara. I also have the 2X telephoto lense and again I have no problems at all. It also protects the camaras lense!

I installed this adapter on my C-5050 Zoom. It solved my fear of turning on the camera with the lense cap still on (5050 owners know what I am talking about!). It is well made and well suited to this camera. It is black so it looks like it belongs on this camera. It is just slightly longer than the extended camera lense, so any filter will not contact the lense (a concern with the Olympus CL-1 tube). I take photos at all zoom settings and have not had a problem with vignetting. Get this, it works...looks cool and is cheap insurance to protect your lense.
