I haven't noticed any more degradation but you must remember an 8x10"
enlargement from 35mm film roughly 8.5x while and from an aps-c
enlargement you're talking a 13x enlargement, so any defects in the
image will be more visible in the latter case. However you will be
taking the center portion of the lens/converter image, the so called
sweet spot., on the digital image, (unless you're one of those lucky
millionaires who own a Canon or Nikon with a ~24x~36mm sensor), so that
will work in favor of the digital camera. So with a really good quality
TC and really good quality lens, you might actually improve overall
image quality on an aps-c sensor camera. Whereas with the 35mm film
camera overall image quality is mostly likely to suffer to some extent.

Speaking of which, do TC's have as noticeable an impact on IQ when
used on film bodies as they do on DSLRs?

prime lenses don't feel right with TCs added on.
I stopped using TCs because they're obsolete in the digital world of
today's high-pixel-count cameras. It's true, Pentax said so.
