Better than Nikon's ?

Yup.  Does look that way.  

Impressive from first view and am sure Oly' users be pleased.  Years back, I can recall being in Gothenburg, Sweden, drooling in a shop window of the original Om series.  (last century, as a young lad in my twenties).   Next to  a bunch of Hasselblad's naturally.

I am seriously looking into Olympus as a travel system and the 40-150 is a compact beast of a lens, the TC's will make it all that more flexible. darn this hobby
That said some of those examples are downright horrible, mainly due to the high ISO noise reduction in the shots.

Here's another bunch of sample pics:

Why can't Nikon make a quality 2x extender?

From the same photog but this time with 40-150 f2.8:

Looks like a good combo for travelling.

The better light in those examples make a better example.
