It appears to me the second image is noticeably softer.

That boat was a speck on the lake, probably a couple of miles distant.
Other than that, the day was calm, and the lens was stopped down one or two

It's definitely not as sharp as the unteleconverted one, but that's not too
surprising.
If one watches for the 2X-L it can be found on eBay reasonably. I paid the

that much.
