Hi, Zuikoholics

I just got a Zuiko 2x Converter. I paid 500 DKK (c. 65 US $) for it, about
half the usual second hand price here in Denmark, I think. 

I know this converter is made for lenses like 100, 135 and 200 mm. Does
anyone know if it gives good results with longer lenses, like my 350
mm/2.8, or should I stick to the 1.4 converter for this lens?

I know I could shoot some test slides, but if some of you could tell me
"yes, it's OK", or "no, it doesn't work", then I could save time and use it
for real pictures.

Btw, I just saw a 40 mm Zuiko at ebay, at the moment the bidding is about
400 US$. Is this lens really so good (or rare) to command such a price? I
paid something like 150 $ for mine, and I thought that was a bit expensive.

I'd better hang on to that lens, it seems. 

Lars
