Incidentally, I tried the 2x converter in RAW today and if you review the frame in camera it shows you the full frame with a 2x crop box - still not convinced what this really does.
Mmm, having just got the Olly I have to be good for a while....They bring out the 300mm f4 next year (600mm f4 equivelant) so with 2x crop =1200mm f4. Then stick the rumoured 1.4 converter on that = 1680 f5.6!!!
Yes I was aware of the in camera review showing the crop but you still get a full size file out so that goes along with that interpolation I mentioned. Anyway the main thing is it works jolly well.
