as you say, a TC already projects a wider image circle than the

use a tilt/shift lens
A TC which does IS would be a very interesting object. Since it would
probably be unwieldy you would still want to have IS lenses.
Nonetheless, Having something which could add IS to the existing lense
base would be interesting, especially since there is good evidence that
