We are
currently conducting tests with a variety of cameras and lenses.
Following are shots using the Nikon Coolpix 995 and Olympus C-5050
with an EagleEye 5x teleconverter lens.
These tests are being conducted for a specific time-lapse project
we have in mind.
The obvious
vignetting on the Olympus C-5050 makes it unsuitable for this camera
however the Nikon Coolpix 995 has no vignetting for almost half of
its zoom range.

Vignetting
is an issue with almost all lens converters at some stage in the zoom
range.
We were relieved to see the Eagle Eye 5x is a useful converter lens
on the Nikon Coolpix 995.
You will also notice some chromatic aborations (purple fringing) creeping
in, especially towards the edges of frame.
CA is a problem with many digital lenses and is well documented as
an issue with the Sony 887 for example.
There
are a variety of photoshop actions available out there that fix this
CA so we're not too concerned.
Take a look at the tests we did with the CrystalVue Lx8. This an impressive
8x teleconverter that provided good results on both the Nikon and
Olympus cameras.
