It will double all FLs of the zoom from "wide" to long,

assuming that it truly is a "2X" - there is a lot of

"cheating" with these converter magnification factors,

though...;-) As for quality, I have yet to see a really

good tele converter (maybe Sony or Canon offer one...),

and the optical results with these can be pretty poor.

WA converters tend to be better-quality...
