Thank you for the variety of samples.

It gives me a better practical idea. I was thinking about adding a converter to me setup too, but now I am not so sure because of the extra srew-in step.
May be too much hassle for me?

I also struggle a little bit with the results of your 55-200mm without converter, these also don't look really sharp to me. May be because of slow shutterspeed and high ISO? Are they OOC without sharpening?

Not too hassle, it screws in fast and well.

These are all straight out of camera and without any editing.

I don't think the not sharp part is due to camera or TC here, probably more to my non existent photographic skills.

If you check out some of the pics, for example the excavator pic, the bottle in that pic next to the man actually has more details in the TC version of the picture.
