Yes you can attach one, but remember that it's best to use a TC on a lens 50mm or more in focal length.

Also, the lens is a 3.5-6.3 lens. So at 6.3 you are stopping down one full stop past most camera's AF max range of 5.6 already. Add a 2x TC and that brings you two full stops past 6.3 due to light loss (3 stops total). So using the lens/camera at 5.6-6.3 with a 2x TC there are no guarantees the AF is going to work :).

A700 might squeak by, it is very sensitive, but I guarantee in anything but super bright light the A100-A350's aren't going to lock.

Just keep that in mind :)
