I received the SigMonster today. That's Sigma's 300-800mm, 13 pound nearly 2 feet long superzoom. I mounted it on my tripod, placed the 7D with Sigma's 1.4X TC on it. It auto focused flawlessly. I then placed Sigma's 2X TC on it and was astonished to to see the 7D still auto focused flawlessly! I expected to have to manually focus it with any teleconverters attached. I then tried it with the 6D. I was somewhat dismayed to discover the 6D would not autofocus at all with any of the teleconverters attached. I had planned on using it with the 7d anyway and I had expected to have to manual focus anytime I have a TC attached so it's all good. Still, it just seems a bit odd that the 7D will autofocus and the 6D won't when a TC is attached.
