This thread started well but now the recent posts made it irrelevant to equipment discussion. Wish you guys keep your own conversations within yourselves. I hope clubsnap will always hv useful and credible source of information on photography.

take a chill pill dude.

Great shot.. wonderful isolation of the subject... I only have the non OS verson of this lens but I love it even to this day.

 

[ricleo]

what bags are you guys using with this lens? with body / tc mounted.

juste_millieu i see you sold a lowepro flipside sport 15L. does it fit the lens 2xTC + 5D3 with grip?

No.
Lowepro Flipside Sport 15L fit the lens on my 5D2+batt grip only. Cant really put other stuff in. Just nice for the Camera and lens.

Tks for the reply! Looks like I am stuck with lugging ard my flipside 500aw. Was looking for a smaller one that can accept just the lens plus TC plus body.

I guess you will need the lowepro lens trekker series to lug the set up.

How did your day out with your lens go,troct? We met briefly at SBWR this morning...

 

[ricleo]

wow hehe how was the morning there? not as wet as it was near my house area hopefully. share some shots from the morning outing if possible

I just took delivery of my Sigma 2X TC last evening, on initial testing, I found that the centre sharpness is even better than my canon 2X iii! however i tried it this morning again and unfortunately found that while my canon TC allows stacking with full AF paired with the sigma 1.4, the 2 sigmas do not stack well together, AF was severely crippled...

now wondering if i shld keep the Sigma 2x TC for better centre sharpness or the EF 2X TC for the stacking capabilities + weather proofing

 

[ricleo]

I was all ready to keep the Sigma 2X and even put my canon 2X TC on a wtsell adv last night hehe.... decisions decisions.

The other thing about the Sigma 2X is that whilst sharper in the centre, there is slightly more vigneting around the edges compared with the canon 2X. So the sigma will probably work better with a 1.6 crop camera compared to a full frame camera. will post some sample comparison test shots later

 

[ricleo]

first the full area resized pics to see the vignetting on the sigma

first image canon 2nd sigma

and the 2 100% crops
