teleconverters

[stl]

what's the purpose of teleconverters? what's the difference between teleconverters and close-up filters?

teleconvertors are add-on zoom
close-up filters are like magnifying glass which allows you to take detailed pics close-up

teleconvertors are definitely more expensive than close-up filter..
close-up filters we are talking about 2 digit fig..

Correct me if I am wrong.

Teleconvertor: U can still zoom to infinity and increase in magnification

Close up lens: Infinity is blur...
