I'm selling my fantastic Panagor macro focusing teleconverter - this is the same as the famous Vivitar version. It's in Olympus OM mount and is in near mint cosmetic condition (just the residue of the "PASSED" sticker remains - this could probably be cleaned off).
This teleconverter will allow you to use any OM mount 50mm lens, and turn it into a 1:1 macro lens. I believe it has 7 elements and therefore gives some super results!
Glass looks very good with just a few flecks of dust present, there's no fungus or hazing. The teleconverter comes with its original front cap and an Olympus rear cap.
Price: £25.00 by Paypal (no charge), please PM your interest.
Shipping: £3.00 UK, £3.70 EU, £6.40 Rest of world.
I've only got a Zuiko 50/1.8 to test with, but results are excellent:
This is as close as you can get without teleconverter
With teleconverter (ooh I need to clean my 40D's sensor  )
OM version reserved.
I also have a PK version available.

The Panagor Auto Macro Converter is not the same as the famous Vivitar macro focusing teleconverter. The Panagor doesn't allow infinity focus, doesn't have a built-in helicoid - its ring moves the converter's optics internally. It is a long time since I've owned the Panagor but I remember it being specifically designed for 50mm lenses. I can't compare their IQ directly since I haven't owned them at the same time. The Vivitars are more versatile, being high quality 7 element 2x teleconverters that also happen to be great for macro photography with a range of lenses. |

Hi, you are correct. I just checked myself. I read a couple of threads somewhere claiming they were the same thing, and obviously the information was wrong! Damn good for macro though
