I fully support the reports from the last two posters. The RF1,4x is just as good as it gets on both my R5 and R7. I see a significant gain in object detail (pixel per bird) and no relevant disadvantages. For BIF you have to practise but that is not the fault of the combo but the reduced field of view that comes with such long FL. The RF2x is more for static applications on tripod from my testing. But again: you get significant extra detail even on the high pixel density R7. That is especially evident from moon shoots!
