Just got this myself for the G9/G80.

No problems at all with these cameras, excellent sharpness at F2.8 (which is why I bought it)….however, with the TC14 it does seem a bit soft at F4, but fine at 5.6. Anyone else notice this?

I own this combination and owned Oly 300mm F4 as well.

When 40-150 is used without a teleconvertor it's tack sharp even at 150mm 2.8. With 1.4 teleconvertor it's a bit soft at F4 but is indeed sharp at F5.6 (not tack sharp but very sharp).

What is more interesting for me is that it holds its sharpness even when shooting  tele-macro.

Olympus 300mm F4 is an absolutely amazing lens with or without a teleconvertor. For me it was too large and too expensive so I sold it.
