Sigma 150-500mm, this 1.4x and a Nikon D7200. My Nikon 300mm is too short. Any experience with this combo?

Very sorry, but I have no experience in the use of the 1,4 teleconverter with 150-500 mm. Be aware that at more than f. 8 the autofocus does not work.....so if the maximum opening is f. 5,6 (but I did not check) you can use the teleconverter only with the complete opened diaphragm of the lens.

Answer. I really cannot help this customer. He needs to check out his lens size with a Nikon 3000 or 5000.

Hey Barbara,I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

Neal, that lens is not real that optically good for that body (although it's fully compatible). I own a D300 and it deserves better lenses...like a fixed f2.8 zoom (e.g. from Sigma or Tamron), not very expensive.This kit lens was very good on a D50, but just so so on the D300!

I too own a D40X and want to try this lens...have a Sigma 18-200mm lens but want to get another lens that offers sharp fotos of mountains...my currents lens cannot do that, but I do love its versatility.

Yes, I have a D3000 and I looked on other forums and it should be fine. Again, some people will argue that it's really a full-frame lens but it still does wonders on a crop body. It's my go-to lens now

Absolutely nothing. I carry a D600 with a 200mm lense with no problem. Rarely do I believe the 'hype on gadgets', but this is the real deal. One of the best purchases I have made for outdoors photography!

I also have a Sigma 50-500mm (Bigma) that is highly rated, I find this lens to compare favorably and being much smaller much easier to get steady & sharp hand-hel results at 300mm. Took photos at a band concert a week ago (indoors) and was impressed that I could read the type on name tags music stand from a distance. Basically a very sharp lens for the money. I highly recommend.

Might be a bit snug. I have a 18-200 on my D3000 and don't know the dimensions of the 18-300. However I keep a skylight filter and lens cap on the barrel, which adds just a bit of length but still fits without being cramped. Boils down to what you find as acceptable tolerances. Hope that helps.

I would not recommend. You will lose quality and also autofocus speed. I have it and I use it with a Sigma 300 2.8. In comparison the very old pentax 300 4.5, that I wanted replace, works much better.....It is not cheap..and adding few money you can buy a 300 4.5, 5.6 that will certainly work better, maybe adjusting ASA.

I've totally forgotten since I sold mine with my long lens. Sorry. I can say that it worked well with both my 300mm 500mm.

Not sure with what Nikon lenses it would work since what I have is for a Pentax body and I can't use it with any of my AF or manual lenses except with my 1000mm & 2000mm mirror manual lenses due to the extenders element protrusion into the back of the lens cavity. The Sigma design is similar to those extenders of Canon. For my Nikon D7100 I use a Kenko DGX 2x extender which works perfectly well and it delivers good sharpness. The Sigma 1.4x for my Pentax does deliver good sharpness with my mirror lenses which I use to video distant birds.

jESSICA, I got an article from Nikonians that affirm it performs auto focus with D--3100/5100/5000/3000/60 and 40.Don't take my word on this and research a bit more, maybe call Sigma and ask them directly.I hope I helped you in some way.

Since I never use kit lens and it's been a while... I went to get both the 18-55 and the 55-200 to try. I tried them out with the tubes for fun over a year ago but I need to confirm my own memory. To answer simply, YES! Work with both! Now, you should be aware of a few things. One, you must zoom them out to the max. So 18-55 must be extended to 55mm position. Secondly, while light metering works fine, with two or more rings the camera will sometimes not auto focus or hunts. This is, of course, the limitation of pushing the lenses well out of what they were designed for. On those two lenses you really only need one tube at a time or you are really too close to your subject anyway. On a final note... I've use these tubes on a Nikon 18-200mm DX (GREAT results), kits lenses (18-55 or 55-200), old 1973 Nikon 50mm, Nikon 105 Micro (Yes, makes a legend go even closer), and Sigma 150-500mm. Just remember each lens works differently and the Sigma 150-500mm is not particularly good at Macro photography so the tubes work but I wouldn't bother. Hope this helps :) PS: I even tried them on my Nikon 16mm Fish Eye lens. While they do work, it pulls the lens in so close to the subject one cannot really photograph.

I use my Sigma 19mm exclusively on an EM5 and am quite pleased with this combo. Quick focus, sharp images and looks and feels great on OMD too.....also have the Sigma 60mm lens and it is superb!

I use it with a Sigma 150-500 if you want to look up the different sizes of the lens. I would think so, that it would work. As far as the adapter, there is a piece of rubber that attaches to bottom of your camera and you attach your tripod piece to this, just like your own camera. So you will have tripod mount and the piece that attaches to vest on bottom of camera side by side. I love the vest.
