fuji finepix s7000 plus which lens? - advice please

Hi,
I have used a finepix S7000 for two years but would now like to attach a telephoto lens etc.
What are the best alternatives to the standard fuji telephoto and wide angle lenses - i.e. other quality makes which fit to the standard adaptor tube...any advice (professional or otherwise) on the way forward to achieve good results would be appreciated,

many thanks Mark (Bournemouth UK)

remember that half the tele converters you find on ebay will be cheap no name items that whilst they'll give you the increase in zoom, will do little for the image quality as they'll be made with cheap lens elements

The Fuji Adaptors and lenses are really the best for these cameras

Thanks to you both, yes I was hoping to avoid cheap lenses - do you know anything about the Olympus TCON 17 Converter - seen it mentioned in preference to the Fuji telephoto ? for the finepix s7000.

Any more comments out there re my original question?
thanks Mark
