When using a teleconverter, will it make the backgrounds closer?

It will compress the image more than a lens without the converter if that's what you are asking.

Yes, the multiplier changes the focal length, and all that implies.

I have one but I never use it. In the past I've always bought a 2X but I don't like the quality I get. I will never buy one again. There are good ones by Canon and Nikon but they will run you about 500 bucks. In my opinion it's a waste of money to buy anything less. The brutal fact is reach does not come cheap.

I do not own one, but have considered the Nikon 2X. But given what I would use that long a focal length for, I'll save my pennies for a Tamron zoom. If really wanted to use one I would rent it.
