"I have a Canon Rebel XT with a 70-300 mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens. Is there a Canon teleconverter, either 1.4 or 2x that I can use with this camera/lens combination. I want to get up close and personal with birds at our feeder."
UPDATED ANSWER: Hi Robert,
thanks for asking if a Canon teleconverter will work with your 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 lens and your Canon Rebel. No, it does not fit, according to a call made by Robert to USA.canon. You need to know two things about Canon camera/lens/extender combinations. We'll get to those in a second, but first to answer your question about the tele extender fit.
Canon teleconverters are built as EF lenses. That means they use full sized lens elements and provide a full size image circle-as opposed to Canon EF-S lenses. I wrote a fully detailed article on this that I think you will find it very helpful: Ef vs. EF-S.
