Teleconverter

Keith, did I dream this or did you post a picture on here of Facebook using a teleconverter? If it was real what do you think of them? And if it was a dream ignore me

[KeithD]

I think you've been smoking something

I do use a teleconverter though, but only for things a long way off. It come in very handy in places like Nevada and California as you can see for miles. Taking a shot of Mt Whitney's summit with a 300mm + teleconverter saves walking up 14,000ft

Must have been half a dream then, may get one myself, have to look into this further

It's a bit scary if you're dreaming of me

Ok, ok - you have me there - it was a nightmare

I used to have one years ago Steve.
Found it be great for nature photography

Just be aware you'll lose a stop or two and any slight imperfections in the primary lens you're using will get magnified along with the slightest bit of camera shake.

I nearly always used it with a tripod set up but it was a huge advantage and with some great results.

Make sure it's fully compatible with your set up

Thanks Peter, it is mainly going to be used for the moon shoots. I will pop down to the camera shop, seek their great advice and let you all know what I have done
