Tamron 28-300 XRDiLD + Ricoh TC-200M : Ricoh TC-200M is also a front-end 1.5X teleconverter that I use with my previous Panasonic FZ20. Tried this with the Tamron to get extra reach. Most of the shots were underexposed since I was mostly keying in the settings for the white egrets. Images here were cropped, level adjusted and sharpened a bit.

Tamron 28-300 XRDiLD + Canon TL-55 : The Canon TL-55 is a 1.4X front-end afocal teleconverter I use in my FZ10/20. Since I don't want to commit yet to additional lenses, tried to extend the 300mm (actually 480mm equivalent with the 1.6X crop factor of the XT) reach to 420mm. Still need to crop but a bit better than the 300mm alone. Most images cropped. All with level adjustment and a bit of sharpening.

Tamron 28-300 XRDiLD Only : With the Tamron 28-300mm XRDiLD alone, I can't reach the usual zoom range I need for my bird shots. I need to go nearer my subject which is impossible in some nature reserve/park. I was metering for the white egrets and thus most non-egret shots were heavily under exposed that it needs some PP.

Tamron 28-300 XRDiLD + Raynox DCR2020Pro : The Raynox 2020 Pro is a 2.2X front-end teleconverter I also use in my Panasonic FZ10/20. Looked like it works with the Tamron/XT combo. Half of the shots here taken with highest setting on the XT especially with regards to sharpness.
