Some images with Sigma 150-600mm with Sigma 1.4x Tele Convertor.

Not tried my 1.4x tele convertor for a while.
It does require a lot of light for the AF to work properly.
So went out today with it, as it was a bright sunny day.

OK, after looking at this, when my gf asks " Is there anything you want for your camera for Christmas?" this year, I may tell her a teleconverter. May I ask which brand you used?

Great shots - mind if I ask what body you are using?

Went on his flickr and checked exif it says he was running a Cannon 80D

Great series! I'm surprised the AF worked at all... with the 1.4x on the Sigma, you're at f/8, and I didn't think the AF on the xxD series bodies worked at apertures smaller than f/5.6?

Very nice, and interesting that it works better with good sun.

Great set.

 

[birdbonkers84]

nice shots, doesn't look like there was much loss in sharpness with the tc?

 

[davholla2 1]

Out of interest what is it like with birds in flight?

 

[Derrel]

Looks pretty decent for a converter and zoom combo!

I have been following this cygnet since it hatched on my local pond.

The combination I use, Canon 80D crop sensor camera, Sigma 150-600mm lens and a Sigma 1.4x TC.
