I have a crop lens. Can I fill a full-frame sensor adding an appropriate tele converter (focal length extender? Specifically, I have a 1/2" C-mount lens and terrible vignetting on a full frame camera. I assume, adding a 2X converter will double the actual image size thus filling the bigger sensor.

"I assume, adding a 2X converter will double the actual image size thus filling the bigger sensor." Why do you assume that? – Philip Kendall Sep 16 '15 at 8:36

3@RomeoNinov The crux of this question is about the effect of the teleconverter, which is distinctly different from that question. I'm sure we'll have one somewhere though :-) – Philip Kendall Sep 16 '15 at 8:47

Yeah, it really helps to put the actual question in the title rather than a general topic. The latter is what tags are for. – mattdm Sep 16 '15 at 9:40

Your basic assumption about teleconverters is right. But you haven't done the math:
1/2" is 6.4mm x 4.8mm—doubled is still only 12.8mm x 9.6mm.
OTOH it's not unheard-of for tiny format lenses to have image circles well larger than their specification.
