Customers are mixed about the autofocus of the lens.

The 2x TC turns the 100-400mm to a 200-800mm. In APS-C crop mode on a full-frame Sony you get a 300mm-1200mm lens! Most of these shots I've included are at the far end of that range and excellent quality. I think the reports specific to the moon being blurry with the 2x TC relates to the fact that punched in to that extreme length there are a lot more variables at play. For one you need a really stable tripod and should manually focus on the moon to ensure it is crispy sharp. The rest of the photos i've included were using autofocus on a Sony a7c or a Sony a7s iii.

Overall sharpness is great! Especially when the subject is closer I have no problems with sharpness. As subjects get further, it can be a little less sharp but that’s due to there being more atmosphere in between yourself and the camera.
As a travel photographer this essentially gives me 2 lenses without having the sacrifice space and weight.
I have not tested yet with the 100-400 lens yet, and have not had a chance to compare it to the 1.4x converter. Don't have pockets deep enough to get everything at once. I'll update the review when I do. Considering the price, I question its overall value, but this seems to always be the consensus for 2x converters for all camera manufacturers.
UDATE 2/23/21 - I picked up the 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G lens earlier this year, and the 2x teleconverter, which hadn't seen a lot of use before, works great with the 200-600 lens for up to 1200mm of resolving power! This teleconverter seems to handle that lens much better than it did the 70-200 f/2.8 GM. With the 200-600 lens, low light performance leaves a lot to be desired, but under bright birding conditions, the teleconverter shines!
Final recommendations:
If you need more reach for the 70-200 GM lens, get the 1.4x teleconverter. The 2x will hinder more than it helps.
If you need more reach for the 200-600 G lens, get the 2.0x teleconverter, but be aware of poor low-light performance.
I have not tested with the 100-400 GM lens, I do not own that lens.
Update 2: I used the A7rII + 200-600 G lens + 2x teleconverter + tripod + shutterless bulb mode to capture the Jupiter Saturn conjunction back in April. After some post-processing and image stacking, I was able to achieve the attached post-processed photo. Not too shabby for not using a telescope!
