I suggest considering a 1.4x. One of those will give better

Where I live (Sacramento, California), we don't get beautiful snowy

That depends, some converters and zooms may be good enough together.
I've gotten good results with
the SMC-Pentax F 70-210 f4.0~5.6 with the 1.7 F converter. The
combination exceeded the resolution of
the film I was using when stopped down a bit. I assume that they would
also exceed the
Marnie,
The general rule of thumb is that teleconverters work best when the
lens is quite high optical quality and relatively fast (4.0 or
faster). That usually leaves out most of the zooms. The one
exception is the pro grade 80-200's. They can be used on any lens,

If you have an especially good zoom, and an exceptional
converter your combination may do the same.
(Even though you're on the dark side).

Hehehehe. I have been wondering if a Canon 1.4X or 2X
There´s no Acra Swiss either - it´s Arca Swiss.
