I haven't taken any pictures with it, Ken. It is only 3 days ago that
I picked it up. 
I have of course looked through it, and it seems quite sharp.
A strange thing that showed at once is, that you can only use the
converter when the zoom is at (almost) full length, but the zoom
mechanism itself is not switched off... so you keep trying to use the
zoom with blackening corners showing immediately. I think I will have
to get used to that.

I have also put the extender on front of my OM-Zuiko 200/4 (changing
that into a 340/4.5) and I certainly will put this combination to test
as well. This set also looks promising.

I will try to come back to this once I've got some results.
