Should a blurry picture be the expected result of using optical zoom to it's max with the Canon wide angle lens converter attached?If my attempt to attach the pictures to this post turn out, you'll see what I mean.
I took two pictures of the same thing, one without the converter and one with the converter. The picture taken without the converter attached turned out fine while the picture taken with the converter on turned out blurry.
Other than using the converter for the second picture, I did nothing different regarding camera settings and zoom factor when taking the two pictures.
I had the camera set on the P mode.
Wasn't using a tripod for either picture.
In both pictures, I was focusing on the centre between the two fence sections. The fence is probably about 80 yards away from where I was taking the pictures.
I just got the converter and was experimenting with it when taking these pictures so the blurry picture isn't an issue but, if there are any tips on how to avoid this from possibly happening in the future, they would be appreciated.
Thanks for any replies.

I should add that I have taken other pictures with the wide angle converter attached and they turned out fine. These two pictures taken, are the first I took while using the zoom to it's optical max with the converter attached.
