David Brown once posted the text of an article in 35mm Photographer which
included
the following -
system with lens head, and you can double that again. The popular 300mm
f4.5 - not apochromatic, just a very good telephoto - fetches its focal length
in
pounds on a good day.
I have both the 300 and the 1.4TC. I think they are both very good. Using the
1.4TC seems to have no penalty, in terms of image quality, as far as I can tell.
If you want an idea of how good this lens is, take a look at George Anderson's
shot
of a coyote in the Olympus Gallery.
