Sigma 150-600mm Sports or Nikon 200-500

These lenses are not made for teleconverters. You are better off cropping in after.

Thanks by the way they say f8 teleconverters work fine

I'm speaking more to the end of practicality, versus what you technically *can* do.

There is two ways of going about getting more reach from a lens: Digitally crop in, or optically extend your reach.

In the case of a 150-600 or 200-500 lens, you really are already getting all you can out of the lens. These lenses do not fully take advantage of a 20+ megapixel sensor. This means that cropping in digitally will produce approximately the same result as using a teleconverter.

With something like a 600mm prime lens, a teleconverter makes sense. It will resolve so much detail for your sensor that a teleconverter will help. This isn't quite the same with a superzoom.

I think I got it.. instead of investing on teleconverter better invest in other requirement actually I had 50% offer so was lil confused to go with converter or not

I shoot with a D750 and the Sigma 150-600 sport. It is a great combo to work with. I hand hold it all the time without any issue. I would not recommend putting any teleconverter on it, the image quality will suffer and autofocus will only work in very bright light. Renting the Tamron will give you an idea of the size and focal length but the performance of the two lens is very different.

Oh Thanks can you give me any pointer of this combo shootout.. also did you ever try the telconverter.. if you have a image with teleconverter with sigma sports please share with me

I have not used a teleconverter on the Sigma. I used to have a copy of the Tamron and borrowed a teleconverter to try on it one day it was a total disaster.

Ok noted would you mind share the sharpest Aperture in Sigma sport.. Did you do the firmware update also Does the Sigma sports need AFFT with D750 too many question but i feel its good to get clarified before buying

I shoot at f8 most of the time. I don't have the dock so the lens is still as it was shipped. I didn't have to do any tuning on my copy but I'm sure each copy will vary some.
