Somehow I cannot get excited about this teleconverter.  It is only going to work on one lens and then two lenses that show in the road map.  Now I must admit I hope the be the first to hit the pre-order button when the 100-400 comes out and the teleconverter does work on that lens, but I will likely want to see how the 400 works without the teleconverter before breaking open the wallet on a teleconverter.

 

The only purpose of a teleconverter is extra reach and I don't believe the real purpose of the 50-140 is telephoto.  The main purpose of the XF120mmF2.8 Macro is Macro photography not reach.  So I see this teleconverter as useless until the 100-400 comes out and then the effective focal length of that lens will be 150 - 600 mm - I don't know that I need to extend my reach to 840 and if I do it will likely require tripod to keep a steady focus.

 

For me the major priority when it comes to new lenses is the 100-400, I must say I am excited about that one.
