Anyone try this with the Sigma 50-500mm? or even the Sigma 150-500??

Picture is OK after I sharpened it with Elements 7.0. Shot Sigma 150-500mm at 500mm on tripod at ISO 100 f14 and 1/800 of a second.

I have Sigma 150-500 for Canon. It works great with Sigma Teleconverter AF 2x DG using Canon 5D MK III, 70D, T3, and T5 with Manual Exposure or Auto without 2x.

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.

Hello, the 50-150 is an APS-C sized lens, so it will work with your camera in the DX crop mode, and will give the reduced resolution that mode results in. The effective focal length would be as if the lens were on a DX body, as well as the commensurate impact on depth of field.

I have not been happy with the auto focus. I have used this lens with both a cannon T3 and a cannon 70D. The problem is it will no come into focus. I have contacted sigma asking if there is anything that can be done about this. I have not yet gotten a reply.

I use it with mine. Works well. Just need a 77mm filter thread or an adaptor for your particular lens.

Thank you guys, really appreciate you help. I was in confused state in selecting sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 or tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 macro, but after a week study i have selected this sigma 50-150mm which is exactly in my budget. Once again thank you guys.

J. ONeill says: Did you make a decision? I am currently debating the same two lenses. I am leaning towards the Canon since it seems there are quite a few quality/AF issues with the Sigma. Any advice is appreciated. If you own a camera with micro focus adjustment like the 50D or 7D, Sigmas front or back focusing is a non-issue. Also, even if you don't own a camera with micro focus adjustment, if you get a Sigma lens that front or back focuses, you can send it to Sigma for calibration.

I wasn't aware Sigma made this same lens in a "macro" version? Becarefull believing the discriptions as some "used" products are misrepresented. Any how, macro will allow for a shorter minimum focus distance. Good luck

I'm glad someone posted this question! It really has helped me decide to buy this lense too. I have the double kit with the other 2 lenses mentioned. I haven't used the 55 200 yet!! The weather is terrible and I'm afraid to take out the new camera. I do a LOT of indoor shooting of my kids and this lense sounds like it will work very nicely. I'm still blown away by the D5000. The pictures in just Auto mode with the 18 55 kit lense are night and day above my other cameras. I'm in heaven!

I am not using Canon 500mm but I expect it will work fine. The Gimball head is good enough to support my 600mm with the other gear (total ~ 15lb +)

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

I didn't try this on rebel series...but since same lens goes on both t3i and 60/70 d, I am pottery confident that the sigma lens would fit as well

Hi David,Not that I'm aware of. My lense, lent to a mate with a 7100, worked no problem to produce some comparative test images for him against a Nikon 70-200 and he has subsequently gone and bought a 50-150 on the basis of that test! The dealers here in Rome (I've spoken to two) have been perfectly happy to use their USB mounts to update lenses for customers for free. I don't know if that is the case in the UK but I would imagine so, so if you were to find you had an issue (which I believe to be an unlikely scenario) I'd suggest taking it to a Sigma dealer and ask him to update it for you but I really don't think you will find it necessary.Happy New Year.Will Hi David,Not that I'm aware of.

I have some Sigma lenses that work seamlessly. Just make sure the mount matches when you shop.

I have a Nikon D3100; I checked the compatibility chart on the Sigma site @ Sigmaphoto.com. Your D50 camera is also listed. I'm very happy with lens.

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'm pretty sure it would work quite well with the 500mm lens itself, but if you use the included 2x extension plus the 1.4x extension for a 1400mm focal length, I suspect the image quality might leave something to be desired.
