[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 508356, member: 13090"] In my experience how well (or how poorly) a TC performs will vary, sometimes significantly, depending on what specific lens it's used on, the focal length and camera to subject distance. Bear in mind not all TC's are compatible with all lenses, that you'll lose a bit of sharpness (minimum) but also a full stop (assuming the 1.4x) as well as a certain amount of contrast and saturation. Auto-focus response time is also typically slower when using a TC. I think the references to how much degradation there is in image quality when using a TC typically focuses (ha!) on the loss of Sharpness; which is an important consideration too be sure, but not the only consideration. At least not in my mind. I don't mean to sound anti-TC, which I probably am, but I think it's important to really understand what you're gaining, and what you're giving up, by using them.
