Was a bit gutted as the Stag ran right past me while the camera was in the bag, by the time I got it out it had run far away.
The shot was taken with a 300mm prime and is a massive crop.

You mean SDM function with the TC attached or just normal AF? And which TC is that?
The Sigmas will not fit the lens.

Mike, you got to give it a spin so that you can have a more indepth input about this, with your experience you are a great candidate to try it and give a more technical view on it. And if I remember you got an arsenal of MF lenses that you could test it on .
I just use it for extra distance as my lenses are all AF, so drop me a line when you are ready and we can swap the TCs and give them a go when its convenient for you.

Ready when you are.. I tried my converter this morning on the DA* 16-50mm that I just bought and SDM works fine.

Hope to take it to wildfowl areas and I should have no light problem there.
Finding it a bit more difficult since I returned last week.

I know a lot of people manual focus with the Bigma as it tends to give better results.
Also may be worth stopping down a bit more and getting some of it back in processing.
Keep going though as it is supposedly an excellent lens if you can manage it.

I know the 50-500mm is a pretty large lens (hopefully getting one in 2 weeks time). It's larger than the 135-400mm I have now and that is a bit heavy for hand held under all but perfect conditions (which you didn't have by any means).
Also they look very heavy crops and I notice from 2 different cameras Wide open?.

The last 2 are excellent with the black background.
