I agree with the general consensus that teleconverters are less than wonderful.

In the old days of film, lenses were very expensive and the film resolution was not up to modern digital sensors so we lived with such things as 2X teleconverters. Even so the results were mediocre at best.

In today's world where so much is demanded in terms of sharpness, detail and clarity, I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. You will be far better off saving up for a 500mm prime or something like the 150-500 Bigma.
