Hi,

Have any of the Tokina or Tamron 80-200/2.8 owners used them with the OM
1.4X or 2X converters? Any other converters? 

I have the Tokina ATX 80-200/2.8 and a cheap Vivitar 2x converter.
At F2.8 (F5.6) the corners are lousy: the typical circular distortion
occurs. Stopping down results in good images.
The distortion is caused by the zoom, not by the converter. This converter
with the Zuiko 300/4.5 at F4.5 (F9) gives also lousy images, but in a
different way...
I am still looking voor a steal deal Zuiko 1.4x converter!
