Back when my father was still repairing cameras he had occasion to repair a 
Canon 600mm that came with a 2x converter specifically designed for it 
(belonged to the local newspaper). We took my Canon camera out into the back 
yard once he had fixed the lens, and took a photo of the moon using this 
lens and converotr.. Just nicely filled the 35mm frame with the 1200mm focal 
length. I was most impressed with it.
