The Zuiko 180mm f2.8 with serial number under 200,000 will probably have a
very slight interference with the Olympus 1.4X TC. The lens has a baffle
that is just slightly too small and too close to the rear of the lens to
completely clear the front of the TC. In my case the black rubber material
around the outside of the front element of the TC left a slight mark on the
baffle in the lens. The baffle in the lenses with serial no. >= 200,000 does
not touch the TC at all.

Gary Reese tested the 180 f2.8 with and without the 1.4X, although he didn't
say which serial number it was.
But IIRC, this topic was discussed at the list.
Will try to find more precise data.
Regards,
Fernando.
