tele converter

[porsche 911]

I have a siggy 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM any comments on a purchasing a tele-converter.

Kenko 1.4 ?

Yeah, go the 1.4 unless you are desperate for reach. The 2.0 starts to lose a bit too much quality (well the Canon version anyhow)

This may be a silly question :D but I'm looking at buying the same lens, Sigma 70-200/2.8 to go on my Nikon D700. Will the Nikon teleconverter work with the Sigma lens? I'm new to the teleconverter scene ;)

Are you happy with the lens in general Porsche?? The Nikon version is a tad over my price range, so I'm considering the Sigma :)

I don't think Nikon one will, only kenko and sigma

Google the teleconverter compatability chart that I've also linked here not long ago to one of fredo posts

[Sueann]

Awesome, thanks kiwi :th3:

I've got the same lens in canon mount, and the sigma 1.4 works well, haven't used that much on this lens, but it works well on the sigma 100-300 f4, pretty good wide open @5.6, but gets very good @f8, and the AF slows down a little also.

The old version of Nikon converter may work, but poorly.
I think tamron also has one that fits.
I suggest either the Kenko or Sigma.

Yea the lens seems quite quick at focusing and in general haven't found any vices
