Game-changing Olympus XZ-1 gets tele conversion lens Accessories boost
high-quality magnification by 1.7x
Olympus’ multi award-winning XZ-1 compact camera just got even better, with
the launch of a powerful and bright new tele conversion lens and adapter. The
TCON-17X adds outstanding magnification and flexibility to the flagship digital
compact’s already impressive optical talents, with no loss of lens speed. The
TCON-17X tele conversion lens is available for £149.99 and the CLA-12 adapter
for £39.99, both from September 2011.
With the XZ-1 set to maximum telephoto, the new TCON-17X tele conversion lens
lets you get 1.7 times closer, with a 1:2.5 F-number. Unlike
with lesser lenses, it doesn’t affect the trademark luminance of the i.ZUIKO
DIGITAL lens that comes with the XZ-1. The required CLA-12 adapter also makes it
possible to attach a 55mm filter.
The XZ-1 comes in a matt black or white lacquered body with a large
3-inch
OLED screen and costs £399.99.

Photo Quote: What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it. The second challenge has been to impose order onto the things seen and to supply the visual context and the intellectual framework - that to me is the art of photography. - Berenice Abbott American Photographer, 1898-1991
