  You can try a 1.4x on your lens, but if it's not a constant f/stop throughout the zoom range, e.g. f/3.5-f/4.5, your finder may be too dark in lower light situations because of the additional 1 stop of light loss as a result of adding the 1.4x. In general, teleconverters work best on f/2.8 macro lenses and on fast telephoto lenses and fast zoom lenses in the telephoto range.
