I am looking to take photos of the Moon, I have a few lenses:

Panasonic 14-43mm, 45-200mm and 100-300mm but I want to be able to take closer photos to enable me to see the surface in greater detail.

I was looking at something greater than 500mm or thinking is there a 2.0x teleconverter that would work with my current lenses?

I am new to this and would like to know your thoughts.

Some MFT cameras have a 2x and 4x digital video zoom. I use it and the 100-300 for the moon. Pressing the shutter get a JPG of the shot cropped in. The resolution is a standard JPG, and the images are pretty decent at 4x.
