Buy a teleconverter & double your focal length! Sounds amazing, but is that what we should be doing? Lately I have been working with teleconverters even on zoom lenses, something I have always said one shouldn't do! Has the game changed and we can use extenders on all lenses now?
In this video I will share lots of example from Canon & Sony lenses & cameras to figure out if extenders are the way to go or if no extender and cropping is better after all.
