I've used that combination, but never for anything where I would compare 
sharpness to other lenses or the 300/4.5 by itself.

Gary's test of the combo didn't look very good, but it was with an OM-1, 
no additional support and no "hands on" damping. And adding the 2xA adds 
length and an additional connection where vibration could occur.

My TOPE 20 entry was done with this combo. It's not the kind of shot 
that depends on a super sharp lens, but the detail in the foreground 
trees and what detail is clear elsewhere at full size is good.
