Product Description
The Sigma APO Teleconverter 1.4x EX DG for Minolta Digital SLR Cameras is a dedicated APO teleconverter that can be mounted between select lenses and the camera body to increase the focal length by the power of 1.4. The multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital cameras. The lens also offers maximum magnification without any variation in the minimum focusing distance. Compact and lightweight, this teleconverter can convert your lenses into longer focal-length lenses, so you don't have to do a lot of unnecessary footwork. A case for the lens is included.Similar Products

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. This is not my first multiplier and I have never seen such a condition. I returned it for a refund. Also I was disappointed to find out this TC doesn't offer the auto focus feature to work when mated with 150-500mm lens. This is the way it is designed, not a defect. IMO I will spend an extra $250 and go with a Nikon TC. I tried a Nikon 1.4xTC and the auto focus feature worked when hooked up with my Sigma 150-500mm lens, but costs almost $500. I will say in all my years buying from Amazon this was my first return ever, and their return policy was stellar. I like Amazon with how there return policy is handled.

Compare Canon and Sigma I could not too much difference. The price is about $50.00 diference from Canon and Sigma. Sigma has more lens that you can use compare to Canon. I would recommend this Sigma converter.

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. It does have AF on my K20D. I'm quite pleased with my purchase, and with Amazon's service.

Properly paired with recommended lens, this is a great addition to your camera bag. Sometimes you just need that little extra focal length. With this teleconverter (again, with a recommended lens) you can get that while only sacrificing one f-stop.
With the aforementioned lens, you still get really fast focusing. My D300 only hunted for focus when the lighting conditions were pretty bad.

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. It is, indeed, a seamless fit. Autofocus is fast and accurate, and you don't realize it's between the lens and the camera when you shoot.
My recommendation is to forget Kenko if you own a Sigma lens. Go straight for the Sigma TC. You'll not regret it.
