Ok after my screw up of thinking that the Canon 18-135mm IS would get great full frame zoom shots of things like birds from 60 meters away, I'm unsure of what to do.
Tamron AF 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 Di II? Maybe. But it's $500+ And no IS. Yeah quality might be great but I don't really care too much about quality since the T2i is better than the Sanyo wh1 I was planning to use. If it's better than the WH1, I'm stoked.
Problem is I need to get close up shots of birds and sunsets etc. Not 1000mm insane. Just a shot like this, without cropping (I hate how the example pictures show cropped images Grrrrrr!!!)

If the pincushin, barreling, vignetting, soft edges, etc happens a bit, I don't mind much. It's still going to put the Sanyo wh1 to shame.
So I'm thinking a 2x thingy. I don't know.
What does the Canon X1.4 extender or 1.4X extender do to non compatible lenses? Can I use it on the 18-135mm? Or is there some other magnification thingy I can use on the 18-135? Or is the 18-135 totally and utterly impossible when it comes to taking photos of birds and zoomed sunsets?
I don't want to buy a $500 lens, replacing the 18-135, and wasting the money I spent on the 18-135.
Also I'd LOVE the 1.4x, or the 2x to work on the Tamron 90mm macro lens for better macro shots. Why are they incompatible and what happens if I try them anyway?
So really. How do I get the 18-135mm to take shots like that Sunset without cropping it? And how do I get more magnification on the Tamron 90mm Macro? Or is it impossible?

Maybe? How shocking is that thing? Unusable?

And how shocking is that? Unusable?
Thanks guys. You all Rock!
