Nice one! Can't wait to see the pics!!
How does the teleconverter work? Does it take the reach to say 300mm ?

It'll make into to a 280mm lens with a loss of 1 f/ stop. Which will be fine as the dof at 2.8 would generally be too little for what I wanna shoot.

You need at least a f/2.8 or faster as the converter means that as well as increasing the focal length has the same less desirable effect on the aperture reducing the aperture by a stop so on a f5.6 lens it would be too slow really to use.
