Way faster autofocus as long as you set auto-speed to "high speed" in menu. better in low light too.

Like to add my tuppence worth to the 1.4x Tele debate. I look at it like this, the cost has bought me two new lenses, a 420mm 5.6 and a 77mm 2.4 (on my DA*s 300 and 55).
So,With a break in the weather thought I would test the new converter on a most willing subject, not the most rare of birds or the most difficult to photograph but one of the most photogenic you can easily find. (Eurasian) Oystercatcher . Car window and beanbag, very dull day and very near to minimal focus for the DA*300 and 1.4 Tele combo. Have also added first bumblebee of the year and Canada Goose ssp canadensis in for good measure.(monopod used)

Enjoy

Well the TC arrived from SRS and took it out for a quick spin along the lane today.

Its focus lock on seems much more positive then the tamron I had before but this could be also down to the firmware upgrade recently, but it works. The build and fit is better then the tamron also.
There does not seem to be any degrading of image quality at all.

So, here are some examples of takings today, NO comparison shots, NO walls or such like, take the exif data from the photo, all on TAV and kept to c1/1000 sec camera does the rest.

enjoy
