will this lens work with sigma 2X APO teleconverter?-- lorenbart

Well mine works perfectly with the Sigma 1.4X teleconverter and if you check the Sigma compatibility page here: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/teleconverter-compatibility, you can see it will work with the 2X. Hope this helps.

Yes. I struggled with the decision to buy the 2.0 TC or the sigma 50 -500 lens to get more zoom as 200 didn't reach far enough for my needs. In the end I got the teleconverter as it was less money and mainly a way to avoid another heavy lens. It works out very well. loss of sharpness and some f/stops as others have described but you will hardly notice. faster glass and more sharpness costs thousands of dollars which i'm unwilling to spend. i'm pleased going this way.

Technically it works, but from an image quality point of view I've never used it. The lens creates very sharp images, the converter will remove the sharpness.

Yes it is compatible, but the image quality through the 2x APO converter is pretty crappy

I think.it was made specifically to work with this lens. I use them together and love the combination.

According to the compatibility list on the Sigma web site it will not work. I would recommend the Kenko Pro 300 1.4x TC., it will work on lenses from 50mm and larger. I use the 2.0 x and it works very well and the AF still works on most all of my lenses too.

hi lou, this will depend on which mount your sigma has. this fotodiox is for nikon mount lenses on canon eos cameras. check your sigma and buy accordingly. all lenses with a greater backfocus as canon will have an adapter available. should your lens not have a aperture ring, be careful to buy an adapter with aperture control, pd

It probably will not work properly. Check the lens manual to see if it is compatible with a 2X teleconverter. It may focus manually but you will be disappointed with the results. The lens manual will tell you if it is compatible at all. The Nikon version of this lens will work and autofocus with the 1.4X teleconverter but results with the 2X are poor.

It worked with a D800, so I'd try it. I had to return it because the plug for the body would not clear between body and sigma 8mm plus r10 pano rotator I was using for pano photos. For typical lenses this will not be a problem.

I do not know. You can ask Sigma if they sell it with a Canon compatible mount. Mine was purchased with a Nikon mount.

I don't know and my earlier point was that, apparently, Amazon doesn't know even though Sigma data clearly spelled out compatibility. So it is up to you to research the Sigma web site to determine the compatibility your self.

Well, it certainly should if you purchase it in a Nikon mount. :) It is an older design - optically superb, but not the fastest focusing lens. It has a two zone focus limiter to prevent racking the lens thru the entire focus range. If you are a sports/action photog, this lens will likely not be a great choice - buy the later version with OS and HSM focus motor. If you're more of a "slow photog" - like me - this lens is simply superb in terms of total lines of resolution, edge to edge sharpness and bokeh. I have two 105mm lenses (actually three - my Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO DG HSM OS does 105, of course) and I will not part with the 105mm f2.8 EX DG, even though I have newer options. Re; the Sigma teleconverter - my Sigma 1.4x APO Tele Converter (EX DG) will not fit on this lens due to the depth of the rear lens element in the mount. Good luck and happy shooting! -Don at strimbu.photography

I have the 2x Teleconverter from Tamron but i am not sure it is the same here. Mine is all black. I can tell you that I do use it with the same setup you have using a Canon 7D and the Tamron 70-200mm and it works just fine.

This adapter is for Pentax Lenses. I'm not sure if the sigma you are asking about has the same mount as Pentax. Probably not.

Yes it will work but in manual focus only.... My suggestion is not to buy.. Shoot in raw mode and crop in you will get better pictures then using this teleconverter. Save money and buy at the least a sigma 150mm-500mm if you want distance..

No, it would take a Canon mount. It would only work if the Sigma was the same type of mount as the Canon. Don

Yes it should work fine. I have the same setup on my D7100 and the results are great. Slightly more difficult to focus on small distant objects with the teleconverter attached.

I would go to the Nikon web site... look at the teleconverter section and find this model and then go to the compatibility section for lenses it is compatible with ...... I would be leary about purchasing them (especially used).........

I have the same lens & teleconverter and it works perfectly. Good luck hope you enjoy this setup. Wayne

Probably not. The lens linkage is specific to camera make. I would contact Sigma to see if they make a Sony configuration.

Yes it does. Great lens. Sigma will have OS in the name for optical stabilization. I also bought the sigma 2.8 70-200 with OS. Also a great lens.
