I had a 1.7x which I bought brand new in the box, old stock, for a song
a few years ago. It gave good results with my SuperTak 55/2 but showed
much degradation on slower consumer primes & zooms. A DA 1.4x is
unfortunately way beyond my budget.

Combined with the DA300 I can't complain about anything. Tripod test
shots as sharp as can be, no additional CA or purple fringing. Let's
give it a try in the field, handheld...

I'm impressed and saved 2k on a future 150-450. Maybe someday some
serious birding...
