Had a Hermes delivery, turned up on time as well. Bought myself a 1.4 lens converter. Oh! My! Stuck on the 300mm and tried it on the 10-25mm wide angle. Will take a trip down to Waterside, on foot of course, to check the converter out.

Done some more gardening, think the weeds wait till my back is turned before reappearing.

Had another roast beef dinner. Cider is flowing well this evening.
Hi Bob,

Be careful what lenses you attach to your teleconverter. Some lenses the rear focal part of the glass can come into contact with the converter at certain focal lengths and could become damaged as a result!
I would think your wide angle could be a candidate for that so be careful.
Not sure you would want to use it on that lens anyhow?
All you are doing is turning it into a very mild zoom lens and losing a stop of light along the way.
I’d stick to using it on your telephoto lens(s)
Just remember that stop of light you will lose. They do tend to work best on fast glass
