Definitely an excellent TC, well worth having in the bag. Surprising that it works very well with the 55-300mm, I've never tried it, perhaps I should.
Try it with the 100mm macro that's in your sign-off. You'll get more magnification, no change in minimum working distance and to my eye no loss of image quality. Seeing little things even bigger through the viewfinder is always fun (for me, at least).

My 55-300 is the older non-PLM version; perhaps that makes the difference. I have used the 100mm Macro lens with the 1.4TC; need to have a proper go with it.
