Which combo is this? Pls name names.

Yup. OLY 2X-A works very well with both Zuiko 135/f2.8 and 200/f4.
Furthermore, OLY 1.4X-A produces very good results with the Zuiko
300/f4.5, Tokina RMC 400/f5.6, and Tokina AT-X 100-300/f4.
I've had decent shots made with my Sigma(tel) 135/f1.8 lens coupled
with either the Tokina RMC 2X, or the Kiron 2X (both are 7-element),
and many people reported good performance with the Vivitar macro 2X.
I'm sure other good combinations exist.
