Would this teleconvertor work with a Sigma 150-500 mm for Canon mount? I plan to use it on a Canon 6D.

It will work. But you will need to use manual focus. The 2x extender also doubles your f stop. So f5.6 becomes f11.2 with the doubler. Your camera will sense this and not let the autofocus work.

I use a 7D and will be upgrading to a 6D. I can tell you it does not work with my 7D and a Canon 100 -400mm L series lens. I have to rely on manual focus which is a real bummer! I really don't want to pay Canon's price for their 2x teleconvertor, but may have no choice. Hope this helps

This is an excellent teleconverter, I can make very good to excellent 11x 14 + prints without a problem. It will not with your lens, it works with the lens for a full frame camera.

I would suggest you check the page that sells this product separately, where there is a widget to check if the lens will work with a given camera. http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-150-500mm-Telephoto-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001542X6E/ Based on the answer I got there, it says it will work.

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway für quality reasons. It is a bad idea to use a converter for a wide-to.tele-zoom. Teleconverters are best for fast lenses (2.0...4.0) and longer focal lenghts (fixed or fast pro telezooms).

I have a Nikon D5200. I looked at the specs on your camera and it looks as if the 2x7n should work. Keep in mind that a teleconverter is what it is and don't expect it to take the place of a 400mm lens if you couple it with a 200mm. Yeah it will work but your camera will be limited. I am not sorry I bought one and pretty much knew the limitation beforehand. With decent light and a tripod to steady the camera it does pretty good with my 55-200mm lens.

Since this teleconverter works with EF lenses only it will fit the 60D which is equivalent to 224-960 with the crop factor of 1.6. 70-300 x2 = 140-600 x1.6= 224-960. but at the same time the aperture will also suffer from f4 to f8 or smaller. I've used this for my 60D and to even get adequate shutter speed with the smaller aperture you have bump up your ISO by which the images then becomes grainy and doubling it with this converter makes the final image unacceptable. I don't recommend this teleconverter on an APSC sensor at the long end of a telephoto lens. I used a Tamron 28-300 telephoto with this converter and the images were horrible. If the lens isn't sharp in the first place this converter will magnify that flaw x2!

The teleconverter works best with F2.8 lenses. AF may not work well at higher F stops and you may need to go to Manual focus

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

I can not say, with any certainty. However, the Sigma teleconverters are half the price of Nikon's but they do not play well with Nikon lenses.

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

Almost certainly not. This teleconverter protrudes into the rear of of the attached lens and, in most cases, there is not enough space between the front of the converter and the back element of the lens. This converter is meant to work with very long telephoto lenses only. However, it does work - though not designed to do so - with the 80~200 mm (and newer 70~200 mm?) zoom lenses and the 105 mm macro lens. But generally speaking, this is a very long lens only accessory.

Hi, Yes, it will work with the 7D. ( great camera, I owned one.) If the Tamron 70-200 lens is a Canon mount and fits your 7D then it will work with the teleconverter. Happy shooting.

Don't count on it. These are designed to work specifically with Canon EF mounts. Nothing else. Call Sigma and ask.

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.

Can't say. It was not compatible with my Canon zoom. It worked on my Sigma lens, but the resulting image was poor. When I compared the 2X converter image with the non-converter image blown up to the same size, the non-converter image was sharper.
