Converter or no converter

[DennisG]

Hi i have a question, i have a sigma 70-200 2,8 but i need more reach for birds and such, should i go for the sigma 150-500 or should i go for the Sigma 2,0x converter to my 70-200 2,8

i also have the sigma 70-300 APO so the 1,4x converter is no choice.

I've seen some great shots with both to be honest.

Would you be able to test the tc

[DennisG]

that's the problem i cant test any of them before i buy them...

Well, I can't find the images I saw with the tc combo.

Generally speaking, a lens that has more mm natively has the upper hand in image quality. Add to that the extra 100 mm you win with the 150-500. However, the tc will be cheaper. Maybe you could find some info in the Dyxum lens database.

I had set my mind at the 150-500 and now u confused me again

Sorry

One of my mates has the 150-500 on Nikon and he is happy with it so I guess it is ok. Can't speak for it myself.

Well i think i will go for the converter that gives my money to by a studioflash set for th money i save.
