I bought this teleconverter to use with my macro lens,to increase their magnifacation. What a supprise I got when I decided to try it on my Nikon AF 70-300 VR lens. When I couple this lens and the teleconverter to my D300s, I wind up with a VR lens that has a reach of 630mm. The AF works flawlessly. Focusing is a little slower, but that is a small price to pay to have a VR lens with a 600+mm reach for an additional investment of $119. This Tele is simply an absolute steal.

This complements my Kenko 300DG pro 2X well giving me a 98-280 and 140-400. Needs to be stopped down 2/3 stops for optimal resolving power.

Very good IQ. Cheap

I use it to extend my Canon EF 135mm F2 L to an 189mm F2.8, which means that I (almost) have 200 mm length without noticeable loss of AF speed or IQ.

Compared to the 1.4 Canon TC, it has a lot of pros : it is light, black, can be used on much more lenses and more than 2 times cheaper !
I use it on a Canon USM 100mm f2 on a 350D (Rebel XT), which gives a real 160mm f2.8, and the 35mm equivalent field of view of a 224mm in a very compact set up.
There is hardly no loss in image quality (maybe slightly soft borders wide open, but deep pixel peeping is required !)
I haven't tested the Canon, but for my use I really see no reason to put a twice the price, twice the weight big white TC between my small black lens and my small black body !!

The king of all the Tcs!
Image quality is on par with its most expensive counterparts
Cheaper than it's rivals
Works with all lens types (unlike Nikon ones that work with either AF or AF-S lenses)
Though it's made of plastic, the build quality is fine for what it's required to do.
Note that there are no weather seals on this TC.
Bottom line:
This TC gives you more reach without sacrificing image quality, Unlike its x2 sibling.
Highly recommended.
