135mm F/1.8+ tele conv= 200mm F/2.8?

Has anyone tried, or knows if a Zeiss 135mm F/1.8 lens could utilize a 1.4 converter to have a 200mm F/2.8 Zeiss lens?

I have no idea what would work in Zeiss-land, but it it would, the combination would be a 189 mm f/2.5. If the converter was a Zeiss, then you would have a 189 mm f/2.5 Zeiss lens.

I do some events that take place inside. Seems to me this combo would be desireable , both with and without the tele converter. Hopefully someone on here will know the answer if it will work before I spring for the tele converter. The 135 F/1.8 lens is definitely in the future for me.
