I didn't have much success using either the 1.4X or 2.0X TC with the 100-400mm GM in low light using high ISO. With the 600mm GM I found that my copy of the 2X TC is actually sharper than the 1.4X TC. Maybe I need to have my 1.4X TC look at. The raw image already showed lots of detail so there wasn't much to do in Lightroom besides bringing up the exposure and shadows a bit, a bit of contrast, clarity and vibrance. Very minimal saturation applied. I think the key is balancing the sharpening with the noise reduction. At such a long focal length when the light gets low I try to keep the shutter speed at a reasonably level, not too low, to minimize effect of shake and vibration. A good solid tripod always helps!
Well I am for sure going to dust off my 2x and try it on my 400 & 600GM's now thanks for the information I would be thrilled if it works well.

WOW! I Just shot these out my back door with my 600 GM with my 2x tc and I am blown away.
Sony's and perhaps others teleconverters appear to work better as the FL gets longer.
The 2.0x degraded my images so much on the 70-200GM I would not think about using it and while better on the 100-400GM I chose not to use it.
It was so lousy on those two I never tried it yet on my 400GM but I have seen some nice images on here and elsewhere and I thought they must have been very good at pp.
Between Footlink's post on here with the 6000 GM + 2x tc and and these two pics it is surprisingly good and throws a whole new light on things.
I hope it performs as well or close enough to satisfy me on my 400 GM and will soon see.
The pink day lily was shot at 1200mm at 1/30th of a second and while not breezy it was not still either.
