If it's lighter it probably has less glass. It might even be
3 elements.
The Kenko 1.4x DG MC is about as good as you can get at present.
Although it probably won't work with SDM it would be interesting
to hear what the Kenko-Teleplus-DG-1-4X-MC-Teleconverter stocked
by SRS at £109 performs like. DG means optimised for APS-C and
it's also MC.

reviews a bit biased and pointless

At £399 they could almost include a FREE Camera
People asked for it so I can't see how they can complain
about the price! Making a small number of TC's
is expensive
Same with FF if they ever bring it out it won't be cheap!

They will probably sell more of these in a year than the DA*300.
found the K10D metering a problem with TC's and could never understand
what caused it. I think the K20D was the same.
I used to always do a few test shots to set the exposure with
most TC's. (Still do on the K-5 )
The 1.4X-S worked well with the K10D and is a 5 element design
so it's probably sharper, but MF. At least you can put the correct
FL in

links to a Patent? It would help to explain how it
actually works

The aspect ratio is the pixel size of the RAW files.
6016w x 4000h = 3.008:2 or 1.504x
The spec. also mentions 16:9 which I presume is a crop.
EDIT: If you mean compared to 35mm FF it's
36/23.5 = 1.532 OR 24/15.6 = 1.538 based on height
which is probably more accurate because 35mm was
usually cropped on the length when printing.

This seems to be the correct one £15.36 for the pair from China.

My next camera will be a Thornton Pickard Full Plate

Look like bargains as long as available. Now taken over
by Commlite and may be dearer especially from Amazon.
Commlite were the manufacturer. Ojecoco designed,
engineered and marketed them.

I once had to some portraits of a businessman from Pakistan and he said it looked like he had been down a coal hole..... I printed them lighter and he was very happy with them
Some examples......
