[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3044343, member: 36230"]A teleconverter is essentially another small lens designed to be mounted in between an actual lens and the camera, and is used to effectively increase focal length. If your goal was pro-level excellence and were willing to invest the necessary monies to do so, you now know who to talk to, but if acceptable images are your present goal, there's nothing wrong with trying the diopters, a teleconverter, or any of the other inexpensive options mentioned. There's all sorts of different "lens hacks" (lens reversal, stacking, etc) that may be of interest. An afternoon googling can be a rather enlightening experience. I recall once reading about how to turn a 18-55 kit into a lens capable of extreme close ups and was really quite interesting. If your lens is no longer functional and is this of interest, perhaps it's worth looking into. That said, I just looked and I do not have an F mount teleconverter. If you had a need for an old MF zoom though... that I have. Haha. Good luck![/QUOTE]
