I use that setup very often with my 100mpx Phase One back.
The HC300 is one of my favorite lenses and doesn’t suffer with the 1.7 extender pictured in your post

I agree about the HC 300mm lens. I have used it with both an IQ180 and the X1D. However, my experience with the 1.7 adapter is not favorable. However, I found there was a significant penalty in image quality with the converter when I used it with my H2 and a digital back. Unclear how much of that is a matter of focus inaccuracy because it is difficult to achieve perfect focus with an H2 and no Live View. I haven't tried it yet with the X1D, which does allow for very precise focusing.

yes, live view is very helpful
Here is an image I posted elsewhere using the 1.7 extender on the HC 300

Thanks, I will try it. On the X1D, the 300HC and the 1.7x converter is the equivalent of a 400mm tele lens.

You may want to test out a different adapter or send it in to make sure everything is aligned correctly, if yours isn't good on the X1D either. Mine has been perfect on the 100 2.2.
