Re: Capturing Wildlife with a 60D

Kenko does make 2.0X and 1.4X teleconverters for the EF-S mount. They should work with the EF-S 55-250mm lens. I have never used one but they might be satisfactory to you. This would extend your effective reach on the 55-250mm to 560mm (1.4X + 1.6 camera crop) or 800mm (2.0X + 1.6 camera crop). Here are links to both:

Just keep in mind that teleconverters raise your effective aperture and can affect auto focus speed/accuracy.

Edit: Just found another brand
