I purchased this TC to go along with a Sigma 150-500mm. First off I noticed there was movement in the construction of the TC, there is a seam where the TC was put together and it had lots of flex. from Amazon.com Compare Canon and Sigma I could not too much difference. The price is about $50.00 diference from Canon and Sigma. from Amazon.com I got a defective lens the first time but Amazon replaced it immediately. The replacement lens is a nice addition to get that extra length for wildlife captures without too much expense. Using a cable release and a tripod, I can't see any image degradation while matched to the Sigma 50-500mm. from Amazon.com I have tried a Kenko 1.4X TC in the past for my Sigma 150mm 2.8 macro lens, but it was very slow and even inaccurate in its ability to autofocus. A friend suggested that I buy the Sigma brand, because they work so well together. from Amazon.com Didn't actually use the teleconverter because it did not fit any of my lenses. I was in a hurry and just figured it would work with my Sigma 70-300mm DG, f4-5.6 --- or at least some of my other lenses such as the Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8. from Amazon.com I bought this teleconverter for use with the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro. Using it bumps me up to a 210mm. from Amazon.com I have used this with a Sigma 150-500mm lens. Since the Sigma lens is relatively slow I lose autofocus -- but shots I haven't had this long but shots that I have taken of squirrels and birds in the back yard remain sharp. from Amazon.com This teleconverter fulfills all claims except the AF compatibility. image quality stays good. from Amazon.com Well, I read a lot of reviews about this 1.4 SIGMA TELECONVERTER, and I wasnt sure to buy it since I have the SIGMA 150-500 lens and I tought that the zoom that the sigma 150-500 offers was enough, I was thinking and finally I came up with the good idea of having 200mm extra, so I ordered and I can say that it works awesome, the picture quality its the same with or without this Teleconverter on the sigma 150-500. NOTE. from Amazon.com bought this because my Canon televonveror would not work on some of my Sigma lens, no complains what so ever, did a lot of research and knew that it would not work with some of my Canon lens, interent is awesome. from Amazon.com
