I was debating on getting this or the 2x and then ultimately ended up going with this. I'm glad I did. The one stop of light loss is acceptable, and the images remain tac sharp on both my Sony 200-600mm and Sony 70-200. This teleconverter is only compatible with the larger telephoto lenses that have the recessed rear element (basically, all the white lenses I believe). On the 200-600mm it's best used in bright light. I've used it on the Moon, or with a Solar Filter on the Sun. For birds or other wildlife, it allows for a slightly better reach. But again, only in bright light. Happy with this purchase.

Es costoso, pero el funcionamiento es Perfecto, sin ningún tipo de retraso o error, todas las funciones de autoenfoque están activadas y únicamente se sacrifica un paso de luz por conseguir mayor distancia focal.

I use the Sony FE 1.4x teleconverter with my Sony A1 and Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II and the Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS mainly for wildlife photography. I shoot only in Full Frame so I have cannot comment on how it performs in Cropped Mode. Also, I shoot Manual with Auto ISO and use the Exposure Compensation Dial to adjust the Exposure to my liking. In most cases I shoot handheld and the important thing with the 1.4x attached is to use a shutter speed high enough. When done right I see no degradation of image quality. I get tack sharp images with or without the teleconverter. The only complaint I have is that it is expensive for what it is but I highly recommend it if you are willing to pay the price. It is a good way to get a reach up to 840mm without having to buy into the super expensive, big and very heavy long primes.

Birds are small and it is hard to get close to them. I have the Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS Super Telephoto Zoom Lens and it is still a challenge to fill the frame with my subject when I go birding. Adding this tele-converter gives me a maximum zoom of 840 mm with a loss of only one f-stop. I now use my lens with this unit attached most of the time. The extender is very compact so you don't even notice it when it is installed and all of the lens functions operate normally. My A7-R3 camera body even records in the image meta-date that the extender is in use. The bad news is that the Sony extenders were designed to work with only a couple of the Sony telephoto lenses, so make sure that the lens that you have can be used with this extender. The good news is that since the compatible lenses were designed to go with the extender, there is practically no impact on image quality. The extender is not cheap, but you are getting a top quality piece of equipment and I put this in my "must have" category.
Sony does make a 2x converter, but that unit costs you two f-stops, which is more than I wanted to loss.
