I hope it's okay to ask about a film camera here.
Basic dumb question: Is there any focal length gained by using a teleconverter with a wide-angle lens? I'd love to use my 1.4 Tamron teleconverter with my 24mm Canon lens but I was told decades ago that they "don't work" with wide angles. I use the 1.4 all the time with my 70-300mm Canon IS zoom and it's great. I could just slap it on there and try it but I don't want to unwittingly wreck something in the process and thought I'd ask for advice first.
Thanks in advance!
