No problem with focus on my S3 with the Lensmate adapter and TCON-17. I set my camera to Macro. ...Grix

With a Tcon17 on my FZ50, I too found that it would not focus as close as it seemed that it should with auto focus, but it will focus closer with manual focus. However, with the focus switch set to macro, both the auto focus and manual focus give the same close range.

The most likely problem is that the focusing distance, the distance from the subjectto the camera, is too short. Keep in mind that the focusing distance is proportional to the square of the lens power (i.e., 1.7^2 = 2.89). Thus, if the focusing distance is 10 yards without the 1.7X, adding the 1.7X could push the focusing distance to 29 yard, although the actual number depends on the design of your camera lens. Given this fact, shooting a very close subject with a teleconverter is usually not a good idea and would most likely give you "AF failure" problem. Please see my Panasonic FZ-30 user guide for more details. Although my site is for the Panasonic FZ-30, the use of teleconverter is basically camera independent. Additionally, the use of macro mode can help.

I agree with the third paragraph especially. I foolishly bought some Digital Optics conversion lenses (0.5X WA with Macor& 2X TC) and the TC does not focus right at all. The Macro and WA work reasonably well but I hope to compare it to something else. I am looking for the OLY TC 1.7. Has anyone heard or used the OLY B28 Wide Angle and the OLY MCON Macro?

The OLY T-CON works like a champ on my KODAKS with the KODAK lens adapter.
