I've got a couple of questions reguarding teleconvertors.
For instance, my 17-70mm is suppost to be a macro lens. I know its not a "true" macro but has macro capabilities. In order to take macro shots with this lens, I have to position the lens as close to the subject (sometimes almost touching the glass) as I can.
I wasn't sure if a teleconvertor would give me more range for, say, macro shots or should I get a 10x macro filter for that?
A couple other questions:
What exactly are telconvertors used for?
Is a 4x always better than a 2x or do they both serve their purpose in different situations?
Pros and cons?
Which is the best brand to buy?
Thanks in advance!!
