Does anyone here have any knowledge of the characteristics of using the Panny 12-32 or Oly 12-50 with a wide converter like the Panny GWC1 or the Oly A-28 or whichever Raynox it is? Something around 0.8x or 0.75x, and with some quality glass. I could lose the extreme edges and still get 10 or 11mm; right?

Or would I be better off using the Laowa 7.5 and cropping in when needed?

Thanks?

I had the Oly 9-18 lens. The trouble with the wide angle lenses is that when they are not being used for their purpose, they cause so much distortion. I do not like to be constantly changing lenses. I have been much happier using the PL 12-35mm lens and doing panoramas. There is a lot of good software for pans even LTR does a good job with pans. I ended up selling my 9-18 on ebay because I used it so infrequently. The PL 12-60 is also a wonderful lens.

I'm sure you thought that addressed my query, but sadly I don't get it. Perhaps you could explain it differently? It doesn't sound like you have tried putting a wide converter on a wide lens, but maybe I missed it.
