That's one of the real problems with TCs, isn't it.
If you need the sharpness of your prime lens, which is usually best at
least 2 stops from full open, that will not be averted by the use of a
TC, but the 2X or 3X exposure increase forces you into a very dark, hard
to focus viewfinder situation.
If you're really lucky to possess a lens that performs well at close to
maximum aperture, make a note of that fact! "Okay to use with TC!"
