[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 778418, member: 50197"] Personally, I would look to getting the lens in the focal length you want, rather than try and make a shorter lens do the task with a converter. The only exception to that would be if you would be using the extender occasionally, and the lens by itself most of the time. I suspect a 500mm lens will perform better than a 300mm and a 1.7x extender. Also some camera functions are not usable with some lens combined with some extenders.
