Robin often states that he's not a birding photographer, but he achievd some stunning results at the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park in Malaysia under poor weather conditions when testing this new teleconverter with the Olympus Pro 40-150 and 300mm lenses. He claims the 2X autofocuses faster than the 1.4TC, and most of his images are impressively sharp when shot wide open.
The only disadvantage of this teleconverter, apart from the loss of two stops of light which is normal with any 2X, is that one loses one stop of image stbilization. Nevertheless, when coupled with lenses that have built in IS, mounted to a body that has 5 stops of IS, the result is five stops of IS, down from six.
The TC is only compatible with the 40-150 and 300 Pro lenses. It will also be compatible wi the 150-400 lens once released.
B&H in NYC has a preorder price of $430 for this item.
