Fantastic sharpness even with the 2X, in the center it is practically indistinguishable from the smooth, but there was no doubt about that. it remains to see the yield at the edges...
Good/acceptable blur but nothing exceptional (F11 equivalent), probably smooth to F2.8 does better.
The doubt is how the AF holds up with the 2X especially for moving subjects (birdlife).
At the moment, unfortunately, no one is able to say

Certainly in the center or in the areas in focus the performance is the top of this series of super lenses, I would hardly have focused on trying the edges, also because with that background it would also be useless.
For birdlife I haven't tried it.

Mattia you are right, but one thing must be said: in this photo the deer had the background, at the nose, I would say no more than 4-5 meters .. It is difficult with such a small separation of the focus planes to be able to blur more. If you see the other photo that Luigi took of the baby deer, with the background much further away, the music changes completely. The blur is so pleasant.. ;-) Maybe for this photo, considering that the light didn't seem bad to me, I would have closed a stop to try to recover something in terms of blur, but I don't think the situation would have changed significantly.

yes, it's not bad as blurry, it looks better than the 40-150. here an AI Denoise has been used that alters the background a little by softening it. But I never had any doubts about the image quality with the 2x (although the 100-400 at 400mm will be a little better), my doubts are about the AF on moving subjects

Secondo me si discute di cose inutili. Pagare 3500 euro e pretendere che la lente renda uno sfocato mi sembra strano, a me interesserebbe piuttosto che l'area a fuoco sia perfettamente nitida.

In natura, anche se stavo dentro un paese, la situazione di luce cambia ogni secondo, l'animale si muove, lo sfondo cambia rapidamente, l'importante è che l'attrezzatura reagisca e metta in condizione il fotografo di scattare senza perdere l'azione. In questo caso l'azione era il comportamento del maschio che stava annusando l'aria con quella smorfia particolare, poco mi importava dello sfondo.

Non sono un fotografo di animali, quindi tendo a tenere bassi gli iso, per abitudine e deformazione professionale, qui invece forse sarebbe stato meglio un iso anche 640 e tempi più veloci. L'apertura invece l'ho tenuta al massimo perché lo sfondo era obiettivamente brutto, c'era anche l'asfalto.

Guarda questa: www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=5134260&l=it
Lo sfondo è più bello, sempre a 5.6
Ma non sono cose che puoi valutare sul campo, piuttosto devi fermarti e scattare, non puoi muoverti per avvicinarti all'animale perchè vuoi il bokeh, la bestia se ne va! e non hai né lo scatto, figuriamoci lo sfondo.

Naturalmente ho postprodotto l'immagine, usando C1 senza software esterni, ho sicuramente lavorato sui piani di fuoco e sopratutto scaldato l'immagine.

In my opinion we discuss useless things

I'm not an animal photographer

Luigi you answered yourself 8-) ..... this lens is used for sports and wildlife, so (blurred apart from which I will not dwell further) it must have responsive and precise autofocus even with teleconverters ...
At the moment we cannot know because no evidence and no review on YouTube has clarified this aspect, including your review.
Pay 3500 euros and demand

if I have to pay 3500 euros for a micro 4/3 lens that costs more than an equivalent one for FF of course I demand! and I would like to have at least some guarantee on the autofocus, which no one has been able to give me..
When I see a 2x photo of a bird of prey in flight or a motorcycle strapping at 250 km/h a few meters away, I will change my mind :-D

@Mattia at the moment unfortunately I have these images, plus others but very similar, same context, and the animals were certainly very confident and also curious. As a landscape photographer and real estate photographer (for a living), I don't use bursts and I often shoot even at events with single focus, and maybe I recompose.
I haven't photographed birds of prey with this lens, but Espen did this test with birds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HegoYWfc8Yc
Unfortunately 7 days are very few and if you consider the weather, the real work, at least one day to understand the goal for a moment, the days to go out are reduced, then I preferred to play it safe rather than go out to stalk with the risk of fiasco.
Of course 3500 is a lot, and I think the autofocus is adequate, but I haven't been able to test it thoroughly, in fact I haven't talked about it.

" Comunque ora gli esemplari faranno il giro di altri YouTubers magari più qualificati"
Non ce ne sono di più qualificati, gli altri a cui è stata inviata la lente in italia sono vergognosi ( oltretutto non sono mai stati interessati al micro 4/3 e ne hanno sempre parlato male. Addirittura alcuni hanno fatto dei video contro il micro 4/3 insultandolo e ora sono addirittura pagati da OMSystem ( che non sa nulla )..per questo motivo puntiamo molto su di te e ci siamo permessi di farti delle critiche costruttive, perché sei l'unico che va sul campo veramente.
D'altronde qui siamo nel più grande sito di fotografia naturalistica in Italia ( e per quanto mi riguarda anche del mondo ) perciò è normale e giusto che siamo molto esigenti MrGreen
Fare dei test ottici "scientifici" in casa per verificare la nitidezza dal centro ai bordi ,con e senza TC, e fare un paragone ad esempio col 100-400, non è cosa di cui vergognarsi, ma al contrario è una cosa moto utile da abbinare alla prova sul campo. Servono sia la teoria sia la pratica, per arrivare a conoscere al meglio un sistema
