Does anyone have experience with them?

I am already buying the extension tubes, are they worth to buy to use together with the tubes? i regain some working distance right? how about increased magnification?

ET+100mm macro gets me 2:1, what would i get with TC + ET + 100mm macro?

I can't figure why the 1.5x (external link) is cheaper then the 1.4x (external link), does anyone know why (i mean the diferences between them)?

thanks,

Paulo

The 1.5x teleconverter is lower quality than the 1.4x.

You will gain some working distance for 1:1 macro but at the same min focus distance that you achieved 1:1 macro with the 100mm lens you will get 1.4:1 macro and with the 100mm lens with 68mm of extension tubes with the 1.4 teleconverter will get you around 2.4:1.

You will lose some quality in the image and some stops of light.
