You have to be aware that atmospheric haze/distortions come into play when your subject is far away, so set you expectations accordingly. I find that I really like using it to make small, close subjects larger(macro/semi-macro shots). All three pics on this review were shot with the OM-1, 100-400, and MC-20.Moon800mm, f/13, 1/2000th sec, iso 1600Caterpillar800mm, f/13, 1/640th sec, iso 800Blackbird800mm, f/13, 1/1000th sec, iso 800
5.0 out of 5 stars It's amazing
I added this to my OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1X and OLYMPUS 150-400MM F/4.5 TC 1.25 IS PRO LENS, which gives me the equivalent of 2000mm, handheld. The clarity of my photos is amazing, especially on the feather detail in bird photos taken at about 30 ft. It is terrific for photographing birds 100-200 ft. distant.I even use it to identify distant birds that are beyond the range of my 10X binoculars. Although there may be a slight speed reduction, it is not significant. I thought at first that I would have to take it off if I wanted to shoot photos at 150 mm, but I found the only ones I couldn't focus on were birds less than about 10 ft. from me, so it is simpler just to leave it connected always. I do find that I need to use my zoom much more than previously, in order to find the bird at lower magnification and then zoom into it at highest magnification.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well with the 300mm f4.0
Works well with the 300mm f4.0 and the 70 to 140mm f2.8 zoom.
5.0 out of 5 stars Why didn't I buy this sooner....
I have paired this with the 300 f/4 pro and the OM-D E-M1 iii exclusively this far but also have the 40-150 f/2.8 to use with it. The build quality is Olympus pro quality and the image quality is incredible.It does limit you to f/8 with the 300, but the bokeh and background separation are still excellent. The images are crisp and I have not noticed any image quality degradation, which is stunning, but hear it can occur with images very far off in the distance (mostly atmospheric influences I suspect).Comparatively, in my opinion better quality than cropping. I have no problems hand holding and even shoot at shutter speeds as low as 1/200 with this combo. It even works well with HHHR.All in all, definitely worth the cost and even more so when compared to the 1.4x which I also own.If you want more samples check GreinerStudio on facebook.
4.0 out of 5 stars No quality degradation.
Any converter adds a step to setting up, lowers the light coming in, exposes the camera body to one more chance of collecting dust inside. This one is no exception, but it does a very good job in maintaining the quality of the lens you attach it to.I bought it to wait for the next large zoom coming out, but at over 7k for that zoom I might be happy with this setup ( I use it with my 300mm fixed and my 40-150mm zoom) for quite a while longer.
1.0 out of 5 stars It was too good to be true
1. Background info: I currently use the Olympus EM1 II along with a myriad of lens; primarily 12-40mm 2.8, 12-100mm 2.8, 40-150mm 2.8 (I also have the 1.5x Teleconverter), various panasonic lens including the 100-400mm Leica. Although I have various telephoto lens, I don't consider myself an expert at shooting at the long end and thus take everything I say with a grain of salt. Furthermore, the following are obviously just my observations/ impressions after having used the 2X teleconverter at a recent airshow (with my 40-150mm 2.8)re: Build Quality: As always with the Olympus Pro Line: excellent. A bit bigger than the 1.5 teleconverter.re: Focusing: Yes, this focuses "fast" but definitely not as fast as the native lens. Furthermore, it's not as fast compared to the 1.5 teleconverter. Now, most folks would think this is to be expected, but I'm mentioning it because there are folks and perhaps advertisement that leads one to believe that the focusing speed is on par with the native lens; no it is not. If you're doing sports / action photography, I would say that this is a "no go" from the beginning. Furthermore, if you're doing sports photography in artificial (ie dim) lighting, forget this teleconverter. Furthermore, when compared to the Panasonic / Leica 100-400mm, the Panasonic is definitely faster in re: focusing compared to the Olympus 2x Teleconverter. And note that the Panasonic 100-400mm isn't that fast in focusing in the first place (at least that's my impression, compared to the 40-150mm 2.8).re: Focusing: In addition to the speed issue (ie slow), the problem with this teleconverter is that the accuracy of locking on to a subject, even when the view finder shows that it's in focus, is... hit or miss. Again, take this with a huge grain of salt, I was using this shooting fasting moving jets, but some images were ok, some images were pretty good, some were ok, but definitely not sharp (not completely out of focus, but off a little). Obviously, there can be a ton of factors accounting for this, but in that I'm the same guy shooting, same camera body, same / similar subject, when shooting the same type of subject several weeks prior with the 100-400mm, the opposite was true; most of the subjects were overtly in focus / normal good sharpness etc...re: Quality of image: In addition to the above issues, when shooting completely static subjects, one can of course get decent looking images, but esp towards the max focal length (ie 150mm), there just seems to be a sense / feeling that the image just isn't that sharp. It makes one want to really look at the cpu screen to see if something is going on. On the other hand, this doesn't happen when using the Panasonic 100-400mm.2. Summary: In that I really like the Olympus 40-150mm (perhaps the best telephone I've used, along with the old 50-200mm) and in that the 1.5 teleconverter is excellent in my opinion and in that I vastly prefer the feel / ergonomics of the Olympus 40-150mm over the Panasonic 100-400, I really wanted to the 2X teleconverter to "work", but the results just don't justify keeping this lens. One can get / coax good images out of this teleconverter, but it has to be at the expense of inconsistency and having to shoot in perfect conditions; I think most photographers want to use gear that will give them consistent results in varied conditions and if the image doesn't work out, the photographer will readily know that it was their own fault etc... I would strongly suggest, pass on this teleconverter; the hype doesn't live up to the reality.
3.0 out of 5 stars Only fits a few lenses
The part sticking out of the front is quite fat and does not fit any of my telephoto lenses. Specifically the Panasonic 45 - 200 mm which I purchased it for.The listing mentions the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO so if you don't have one of those you will probably be disappointed and have to return it like I did.
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly sharp!
I was amazed at how sharp this teleconverter is!! There is a slight lag in acquiring focus, but especially in good lighting it’s barely noticeable. Image quality is outstanding paired with the m.zuiko 300mm f/4 lens. I have used teleconverters on my full frame camera that didn’t come anywhere near the quality of this. Both images were shot handheld. My only regret is that I waited so long to purchase this.
Perfecto

A must have
The optical quality is nothing less than absolutelly stellar... Don't be put off by the misconception and general idea that telecomverters degrade image quality to the point that it is more advantageous to use digital zoom, or image cropping... Pack this teleconverter with the 40-150mm f2.8 pro and be amazed by the supersharp images you get, the almost 1:1 magnification = almost macro capabilities, and yes the images are that sharp!!!The max apperture is stopped down to a constant f5.6, which is extremelly usable in real life nature photography. The focus speed is, at the most, only very slightly affected (I didn't notice any change). This teleconverter extends the 40-150mm to 80-300mm which is equivalent to 160-600mm ff format... For me 600mm is the limit for a hand held telelens, what a great piece of kit this teleconverter is! It increases the versatility of an already extremelly versatile lens.
Good product, careful with the price
I use compatible lenses, happy to get it then the price went down 41% the next day 600 to 400....Pissed off, don't pay more than 450. With the right lenses it's a good product.
Providing extra reach...
This 2x teleconverter is a lightweight solution to extend the reach of Olympus 100-400mm to 200-800mm. However, I used it only when lighting is good and the subject is beyond the reach of 400mm, as the largest aperture becomes f13. Focusing is still quite fast and accurate on EM1 mkii which I am using, even in indoor lighting.
Great initial impression
Product arrived on time and was exactly as described. I have matched this teleconvertor with a 100-400 lens and have been impressed with initial results. I will add more information and pictures when I get a chance, but my initial impression is that this is a great addition.
