All photos taken the day after I modified the Canon EF-S 55mm - 250mm with Kenko x 2 TC, Just test shots, The Upright Bass was taken at FL 110 wide open with exposure of 1 second in very low light conditions, The outdoor photos were taken at 500mm or 2 x 250mm at 1/25th wide open hand held on a very overcast dull day, The Vase was 1/25th with low energy lamp to the right, Not my best work but was just making sure everything was working ok, Its obviously not as bright as my L series with a F2.8 aperture but ok for a budget solution, thanks, Pete

Here is the modded lens on the Kenko 2 x converter, EF-S 55 - 250 STM IS on a Kenko EF 2 X Converter

This is the EF-S without the Kenko TC, obviously faster and more clarity

Thank you.
I guees it is, all in what you want and expect from your equipment. I might suggest (the bird) you lay off the sliders in LR just a bit.

the bird was taken before light room installation, and has had basic balancing with the Canon software and it was more or less like this off the lens, anyway i am only trying to be helpful and we all know a 2 x TC and a cheap canon STM lens will never be as good as a Fast Prime or Top end zoom but for a few hyndred dollars (or Pounds) it does a job better than some more expensive low end lenses, I was only answerie question which I have answere yes you can use an EFS on a EF TC if you are prepared to void your warranty and possibly risk damaging it, It worked for me and the lens is light even with TC attached, it will never compare to an L lens , most things dont but its a good carry everywhere soluion, I will use it until I can afford the Canon 800mm F5.6 fore price of a new vehicle, Pete

Pete,
I appreciate your reporting back as to what can be done. Each has to decide the best course for them and not worry about what others say or think. Kudos to you. I would have never thought to do what you did.
I might add, while on the bird subject, I think the converter imporved the lens if you didn't adjust the photo in LR.
