@doingthebobs:

You're right about noticing the difference between the 2 shots. But the TC one still looks solid enough. I'm not sure the Sigma would do any better at 500mm.

@mille19:

Thanks for even more shots. They all look stunning. I'm a bit worried about the AF hunting though. I suspected it might come to that. I use the Sigma for BIF shots among other things and I guess that on those occasions I'd suffer a bit with the DA+TC combo. On the other hand, those kind of shots often benefit from a slight MF correction since you're usually shooting against the sky.

Hopefully the thread comes to life a bit
Would you think asking 500 pounds for a mint Sigma 150-500 HSM would be too much?

I guess one reason that speaks in favor of the DA is weight and size. On the other hand...the Sigma is a zoom, which makes it more versatile.

Both of those are great. Does AF suffer at all because of the TC?
Did you notice a decline in sharpness and general IQ because of the TC?

Thanks again for helping out.

Hi,

I currently own the mentioned Sigma and while it's a great lens I can't help wondering if the combination with the DA 300mm and a TC would work as well. Do any of you have that combination? Maybe even tried both?

I know the DA set would set me back quite a lot (I would obviously sell the Sigma to help fund it, but I'd still be half short). If any of you have any samples for the DA combo, I'd appreciate it if you could post some.

Thanks

Thanks John, I appreciate it.
I also filed a suggestion using the bottom link.

I meant being able to use the specific application to browse the forum...so yes, the customized version.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction John. Didn't notice that link.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but couldn't find anything more appropriate.

I'm wondering if there's a chance to install a Tapatalk app plugin on this forum. It would make forum browsing on my mobile (and I'm guessing a lot of other people's) much more simple.
