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?

Same for me: I consider 40-150 as f/5.6 lens with TC, wide open it's noticeably softer. This is reason why I don't use it much after 300 f/4 purchase, as it has same usable aperture with TC and without TC it is bit too short for birding. But I don't want to sell it as it's very good lens otherwise, without TC I don't hesitate to shoot it wide open.

No problems shooting 300 f/4 with 1.4 TC wide open.
