Many thanks, I see what you mean. John Shaw makes similar comments 
about teleconverters. On the other hand there was that shot by ? was it 
Stephen Scharf, noted the other day of a motor-bike taken with a Zuiko 200 
and Tamron 2x teleconverter. 

Difficult to compare - the water buffalo have textures in their coat that don't 
have an equivalent in the motor-bike.

I'll probably come back for advice about specific Tamron teleconverters at 
some future time.
