Best 2x converter for Nikon 5500

In my "limited" experience, no converter does real justice to a photograph and in reality simply degrades the end result. Just my personal opinion.

Please correct me if I am wrong as I will fundamentally change my shooting style but I would think the teleconverter shot would be better than a non teleconverter shot side by side if the non shot was cropped to match. My philosophy has always been in the heat of the battle it's better to get a slightly degraded shot then no shot at all.

There is a reason lenses come in different focal lengths. If you need to get "closer" to a subject, use a longer lens. A tele-converter forces the lens to exceed its design parameters, reducing light and sharpness. Sometimes it's better to "skip" a shot instead of creating something you are just going to discard anyway.

I've thrown out many bird shots when the subject is too small in the frame to do anything with. And that's after trying real hard to save it by digitally zooming in. However, I've kept many when a teleconverter has been used well.
