I have the green one. Some of my test shots used the dedicated 2x from
Tamron. I'll look today and see if I can draw any conclusions as to quality
between the Zuiko and Tamron TCs. /jmac

Thanks James. Even if I didn't remember your middle initial I remembered
your quick comments on telephotos you've made over the last couple years.
Congratulations on your sale of your big Zuiko. You got a good price. One
sold a week or so later for about $700 less.
Photodo gives the 300mm f2.8 Tamron slightly better ratings than the 400mm
f4 Tamron. You'll probably enjoy the lighter weight of the Tamron. I don't
think you'll have any issues with its quality. I have some doubts about
using stacked TCs on it though... ;^)
Did you get a green Tamron or a charcoal colored one?
