Schneider Optics 2.0 Tele-Converter?

[bbalser]

Anyone have any real world info on the quality and performance of the Schneider Optics new 2.0 Tele-Converter for the HVX200?

I need a lot more zoom than the HVX comes with for doing nature and outdoor shots where we are not physically able to get close enough to our subjects. Any real world feedback on anything to enhance the zoom of the HVX is greatly appreciated.

Jerrod - does it get vignetting at around the 20 mm mark pulling back - as per the 1.6 ?

Had my rental department do a quick test and it looks like you get the vignetting at about the 27 mm mark on the 2.0x ..... will try to have some grabs posted in the next day or so...
