I even use it to identify distant birds that are beyond the range of my 10X binoculars. Although there may be a slight speed reduction, it is not significant. I thought at first that I would have to take it off if I wanted to shoot photos at 150 mm, but I found the only ones I couldn't focus on were birds less than about 10 ft. from me, so it is simpler just to leave it connected always. I do find that I need to use my zoom much more than previously, in order to find the bird at lower magnification and then zoom into it at highest magnification.
It does limit you to f/8 with the 300, but the bokeh and background separation are still excellent. The images are crisp and I have not noticed any image quality degradation, which is stunning, but hear it can occur with images very far off in the distance (mostly atmospheric influences I suspect).
Comparatively, in my opinion better quality than cropping. I have no problems hand holding and even shoot at shutter speeds as low as 1/200 with this combo. It even works well with HHHR.
All in all, definitely worth the cost and even more so when compared to the 1.4x which I also own.

I bought it to wait for the next large zoom coming out, but at over 7k for that zoom I might be happy with this setup ( I use it with my 300mm fixed and my 40-150mm zoom) for quite a while longer.
re: Build Quality: As always with the Olympus Pro Line: excellent. A bit bigger than the 1.5 teleconverter.
re: Focusing: Yes, this focuses "fast" but definitely not as fast as the native lens. Furthermore, it's not as fast compared to the 1.5 teleconverter. Now, most folks would think this is to be expected, but I'm mentioning it because there are folks and perhaps advertisement that leads one to believe that the focusing speed is on par with the native lens; no it is not. If you're doing sports / action photography, I would say that this is a "no go" from the beginning. Furthermore, if you're doing sports photography in artificial (ie dim) lighting, forget this teleconverter. Furthermore, when compared to the Panasonic / Leica 100-400mm, the Panasonic is definitely faster in re: focusing compared to the Olympus 2x Teleconverter. And note that the Panasonic 100-400mm isn't that fast in focusing in the first place (at least that's my impression, compared to the 40-150mm 2.8).
re: Focusing: In addition to the speed issue (ie slow), the problem with this teleconverter is that the accuracy of locking on to a subject, even when the view finder shows that it's in focus, is... hit or miss. Again, take this with a huge grain of salt, I was using this shooting fasting moving jets, but some images were ok, some images were pretty good, some were ok, but definitely not sharp (not completely out of focus, but off a little). Obviously, there can be a ton of factors accounting for this, but in that I'm the same guy shooting, same camera body, same / similar subject, when shooting the same type of subject several weeks prior with the 100-400mm, the opposite was true; most of the subjects were overtly in focus / normal good sharpness etc...
re: Quality of image: In addition to the above issues, when shooting completely static subjects, one can of course get decent looking images, but esp towards the max focal length (ie 150mm), there just seems to be a sense / feeling that the image just isn't that sharp. It makes one want to really look at the cpu screen to see if something is going on. On the other hand, this doesn't happen when using the Panasonic 100-400mm.
2. Summary: In that I really like the Olympus 40-150mm (perhaps the best telephone I've used, along with the old 50-200mm) and in that the 1.5 teleconverter is excellent in my opinion and in that I vastly prefer the feel / ergonomics of the Olympus 40-150mm over the Panasonic 100-400, I really wanted to the 2X teleconverter to "work", but the results just don't justify keeping this lens. One can get / coax good images out of this teleconverter, but it has to be at the expense of inconsistency and having to shoot in perfect conditions; I think most photographers want to use gear that will give them consistent results in varied conditions and if the image doesn't work out, the photographer will readily know that it was their own fault etc... I would strongly suggest, pass on this teleconverter; the hype doesn't live up to the reality.
I use it on a Olympus Pen 8 MT (100-400mm) Lens . It is a precision fit. The images of a hawks nest with youngsters was very sharp. The 100-400mm lens was adequate but using the Teleconverter made the original better for enlarging the image to an 8x10. The image was very sharp.. I would buy again. It is expensive but worth the money. I am an experienced photographer but I just judge a product by "did it do what I wanted". The answer is yes.

Usado para fotografiar deportes y vida silvestre.
The max apperture is stopped down to a constant f5.6, which is extremelly usable in real life nature photography. The focus speed is, at the most, only very slightly affected (I didn't notice any change). This teleconverter extends the 40-150mm to 80-300mm which is equivalent to 160-600mm ff format... For me 600mm is the limit for a hand held telelens, what a great piece of kit this teleconverter is! It increases the versatility of an already extremelly versatile lens.
Pissed off, don't pay more than 450. With the right lenses it's a good product.
