If you want bigger catchlights, you need more reflection off the

Let's look at it this way. A 200mm lens at f4 has a 50mm aperture.
Now with the 2x converter it becomes a 400mm with the same 50mm
aperture. 400 / 50 = 8. So the f-stop is f8. From this we can deduce
that when using a 2x teleconverter out actual f-stop is double the
