Is this, Kenko TelePlus MC7 2.0X DGX Teleconverter, a route to consider in lieu of purchasing a zoom lens like an 85mm or 100mm?
Say to use on a nifty-fifty?

msowsun "approx 8mm"  More info | Apr 15, 2012 18:22 | #2 No, image quality will be very poor with that combination. designed specifically to be used with prime telephoto lenses of 100mm or above, such as 300 mm f/2.8 lenses, and work best with telephoto lenses of 200mm to 500mm. The PRO 300 can be used with telephoto zoom lenses as well as prime lenses. However, Kenko does not recommend them for zoom lenses that have a range starting under 50 mm.
