FWIW, I have refrained from using TCs because of the simple fact there is a slight loss in resolution and contrast(added flare). Somehow prime lenses don't feel right with TCs added on.

I've always been of the mindset to use converters from the same maker as the lens, tho I have never evaluated brand X convertors on brand Y lenses. I currently have the rear convertor A-1.4 X-S, X-1.4X-L and A2.0X-L & have used them extensively when needed without any particular issue. The A2.0X-L is the least used for me. They're a great way to extend your 'photo reach' relatively cheaply compared to the cost of an equivalent lens.
