It Does What It's Intended To, And Does It Well
I'm using this 1.4x tele converter with the Zuiko Digital 70-300mm lens to extend the range without as much light loss as the 2x tele converter would bring. I'm been using it for birding and flower close-ups where you're not allowed off the trail and it works quite well. I did a side by side test with and without the tele converter and the image quality nets out about the same after doing a crop to equivalent field of view because of the ISO boost needed to keep the exposure the same since I was shooting hand held. On a tripod you could keep the ISO low and go with a longer exposure to make up for the speed loss, and may actually be able to achieve better resolution than with the base lens alone.
