Can I use my Canon 2X telephoto extender with this Sigma lens?

I don't think so. I have tried to use it with my canon 18-135mm & my 55-250mm lenses. could not focus at all.works great on my 60mm macro. i believe the 2x extender was for macro use only.

No. Canon extenders only work with Canon L series lenses, not regular EF lenses, which is what the Sigma is considered. I use a Vivitar Series One 2X teleconverter on my Sigma and it works amazingly well, both AF and exposure.

I haven't tried it with an extender, but I don't think it's compatible. This information comes from Canon: "This converter is only compatible with fixed focal length L-series lenses 135mm and over, as well as the EF 70-200/2.8L, EF 70-200/2.8L IS, EF 70-200/4L, and EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L."

Yes, you can use a 2x adapter between the lens and body. There is a kit with it included on Amazon. You might find it difficult to stabilize the lens enough to get decent photographs, though.

Kathryn, Canon do not list your lens as being suitable to use with either of their extenders. If you need to go longer (well over 300mm) you'd need to find another lens, either zoom or fixed, depending on the type of work you do. Good luck. Jeff

None of the Nikon teleconverters mount on Sigma lenses. (https://photographylife.com/reviews/sigma-2-0x-teleconverter), all the best,

I cant see any problem. I use it with a Canon 65D with battry pack, a 400mm f4 canon lens and 1.4x extender. You can see my pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/8424342@N04/

canon does have this teleconverter listed as a component that will work with the 100-400 lens

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.

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

No, it will not. It works just with a limited number of SIGMA lens. Have a look on the SIGMA website. It does not work with any lens of different company (Nikon, Canon, Pentax ecc.). Better: it can increase magnitude of 1.4 but you will loose both autofocus and automatic exposure. Frankly speaking, I use it (not frequently) together SIGMA 300 mm f: 2.8. The autofocus is not very precise, slow and the quality of the photos is not fantastic considering the whole amount of money that the lens (both) costed. Regards

This lens is only compatible with fixed focal length L-series lenses 135mm and over, as well as the EF 70-200/2.8L, EF 70-200/2.8L IS, EF 70-200/4L, and EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L. Additionally, please see the lens and/or camera body manual for full compatibility information with the Extender EF 2X III. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/extender_ef_2x_iii#Specifications

Yes, you may, but..there's a caveat. First, remember that the threads on the lens of this camera were put there for adding filters to your shoot and those are light and thin. If the 2x teleconverter you have is long, you may find it produces vignetting at wide settings of the zoom. Next, if the teleconverter is heavy, it will put an unnecessary weight on the lens. I've found that using a 2x or higher teleconverter will usually produce fuzzy pictures when the zoom is extended, so caution, and remember those threads on the lens are delicate..... be gentle when placing or removing filters or your teleconverter on the cam. In all probability, you may not be happy with the results. Usually extenders are placed between the camera body and the lens, whereas in your case, the extender would obviously have to go on the end of the lens. Happy shooting.

The lens works really well should work with your telephoto lens the only thing you have to consider is you will lose three stops once you add the coupler other than that it works fantastic

No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

I have Canon D60 and T3i and this lens is fantastic on both at all settings. I would contact sigma and talk to them about it.

I have both the 150-500 and 50-500 Sigma lenses (A-mount) and it works with both of them. I use them on Sony E-mount cameras with a Sony A-mount to E-mount adapter. IS works with the teleconverter but AF does not. All other function work. This converter works especially well with these lenses for wildlife subjects.
