Pros: Sharpness equal to the Nikon counterpart

Cons: Not compatible with Nikon lenses

Opinion: TC of all respect, pity it is not usable with Nikon lenses. Tested on D500 with 300 2.8 AF-S version and 200-500, it reports EE error and does not allow the shot. On the contrary on 150-600 S it works perfectly, but the image quality at 600mm multiplied is not satisfactory. Perhaps on less dense machines such as various admirals or other FF with AA filter could meet the same, on D500 and D850 No. I therefore hypothesise functions very well on the 500 F4 Sport. Pity the non-compatibility with Nikon lenses.

Pros: Minimum detail loss, no problem with autofocus and stabilization, adequate cost

Cons: Nothing to report

Opinion: I always use the extenders on long optics and macro lenses in order to improve the output of the shots, both for the magnification ratio and for the long focal lengths. Although it has both the 2x and the 1, 4x, in the versions for attack Canon and Nikon, I always use the 1, 4x because it allows a rendition of the details to say the least fantastic, practically do not feel the presence of the Extender. I also have original Canon III and Nikon series extenders, but the new sigmas are the ones I prefer for use with macro optics and, of course, Sigma. I would like to advise without problem the TC-1401, while the older brother 2x is, in my opinion, useful only in particular situations (long optics on tripod, with good light). If you want to see some shots done with Sigma Extender, I have collected macro and naturalistic photos in this album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/henry62/albums/72157672708813618

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, perfect autofocus. Tropicalization.

Cons: At the moment no one.

Opinion: I use it with the Sigma 70-200 Sport and it's like it's not there! Both for autofocus and for image quality..! All EXIF data and room information on focal length and aperture are reported correctly and heard heard, it is compatible with the Canon 100 L macro! With this last lens, the AF works, but it gets a bit uncertain, but considering that Canon extenders can't even mount, I'm happy.. I'm really satisfied!

Pros: Quality tropicalization excellent compatibility with Sigma lenses and nn only ..

Cons: At the moment no

Opinion: The yield and excellent, imprcettibile loss of detail when mounted on 150/600 Sigma sport, with bodies pro machine. personally tested on 1dx and is fully functional? af nn loses virtually nothing, of being a 7dmkII APSC? af slows still slightly anke fast-moving subject is hooked perfectly with excellent yield and detail

Pros: Tropical conditions as better definition of the Kenko 1.4 I already have.

Cons: It does not maintain, in contrast to previously read the autofocus. Mounted on Canon Eos 70D with Sigma 150-600 Contemporary works only in MF. Also tried on Sigma 105 macro, same speech, only in MF.

Pros: Tropicalization, building, weight, quality

Cons: Not compatible with my other optical

Opinion: We start with the cons: on optical Tamron, Nikon and tokina owned by me even you can stick, having the very protruding lens, only with the Tamron 70-200 VC graft is fine but the machine does not recognize the multiplier, as if it had mounted. Clearly lost a bit 'of clarity and autofocus slows, low light pictures are out of focus and those focused. In my opinion are the price to pay to extend the focal length of the lens. Mounted on d750 with Sigma 150-600 contemporary quality of the photo is just a hair less smooth than using optics. The best thing is that it keeps all the automations until f40 to the maximum focal length. In open conditions, light autofocus responds admirably. superlative construction, weight .... even feels backpack. Definitely I recommend it to those who have purchased the contemporary.
