Correction to my previous post: I looked carefully and found that I had missed a static rear-most element that does not protrude farther in as you zoom the 55-200mm lens. So anyway, if that rear element is not recessed far enough for the TC, it won't work. If it is, it might work.

Yes, as you have seen, the rear most glass does not move in the 55-200 and the length of the TC is too long for a fit, also for the 90mm.

Just wondering, what if we can put a MCEX11 between the teleconverter and the lens? It might lose focus at infinity, but I hope this setup can still be usable in some cases (e.g. macro). I can't afford a 2x converter just for this experiment, so I'll be very happy if someone can give it a try.
