As RR says I think you need firmware 1.30 to be able to AF with HSM lenses.

Have you seen these images? I think they are a bit on the soft side link
Actually Amin I rather like those.
I think we sometimes get too wrapped up in how sharp an image is when we should be concentrating more on the picture itself.

The teleconverters work with the Bigma although in manual focus only.

These were with the 1.4x @ 700mm

I use all my focus points (give me more!!!) And I'm very happy with Live View on the K20D to be honest.
From the looks of it you aren't getting more .. however the liveview could well be better.

When you have time to test some more like you said with tripod are you able to stick in a TC to it also and see how it performs?
You mean the Sigma 1.4x and 2x EX converters on the Bigma Amin?

I would wait and see what Thursday brings.

Don't forget you also get 2 years warranty with SRS though.

As I said, I'm not having a go at the Bigma, as a virtual one lens solution I think its excellent and I have had very good results. Considering the detail in the door lock and that it's a zoom lens had I not been purposely comparing the 2 lenses I would have been more than happy with the quality.(actually I still am).
