Should You Use a Teleconverter? | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Michel V. is, "Do teleconverters degrade your image? The only other way of getting longer reach would be to crop in post, but you can only crop so much before your image starts to suffer. So which method is best? This is assuming that using a longer lens or getting closer to the subject is not an option. Thank you."
