And finding that 1.7x teleconverter doesn't really give any more detail. Maybe a touch more but also more noise..

Was I naive to expect it to work well with this lens??

I'm finding that it works pretty well with the tamron 90mm macro..

Hoping that some of the "oldies" can set me straight here.. (first one is without 1.7x and the second one with )

Cheers!!

PS I did a quick edit in iPhoto (sorry - don't have Photoshop or Lightroom on this laptop) to get the most out of images. The one with teleconverter was very soft, hence more noise when I tried to sharpen a little.
