Which teleconverter will be compatible?

Hi!
I've been unsuccessfully scouring the internet for the answer, and came upon your page!

I have a Canon Rebel XT EOS. My lens is the Canon Zoom lens Ultrasonic EF 100-400mm/ 1:4.5-5.6 L IS.
I'm interested in buying a teleconverter to boost my distance. I do nature photography and would love to get closer shots of my subjects.
Can you please tell me if one exists and what it is?
Thanks so much!

Hi Lynn,

Canon's EF teleconverters will work fine with your Rebel XT and EF 100-400mm lens. The question you need to answer is if that is going to give you the image quality you want. You won't have a problem with compatibility.

I encourage you to read my article on my test for sharpness: https://www.canoncamerageek.com/Canon-1-4x-extender-test.html.

Good luck,

Bruce

Appreciate your answer. Thanks for the link to your article. (Canon-1-4x-extender-test)

After reading it I am a bit disappointed tbh, because sharpness is important to me. I had wondered about that very thing.

I do use GIMP on photos to crop and sharpen up the image if needed, so that is something I'm very accustomed to. Having said that, reading your comments about your Canon 90D (Canon 90D) now has me looking into that as an option to help with sharper images!
Anyway, a lot to be considered still, but I feel much more informed.

Bruce: Glad it helped!
