sigma apo ex telecoverters.

SIGMA APO EX tele converteres can work with 80-200mm APO G?

found one at KEH, my US fren can bring back for me... just wondering since 80-200 compatibility is questionable. I only know from this forum that the tamron and the kenko pro work...
thanks!

Hiee..

You cant...

I have both the siggy 1.4 & 2.0 TC....bith the glass is flush with mount. Therefore, whn lens inserted...it will clash....

how about for the 300 f/4? which teleconverters are most suitable for the lens?

 

[Drudkh]

any of them. if you have the $$$, get KM one lor. you bought a 300 f/4 liao?

 

[captnj]

ya i think the non-zoom minolta lenses are 100% compatible... its only the 80-200 APO g that gives trouble...

 

[ileaf]

thanks drukh & captnj, for the info.

even with digital crop of 1.5, i think 300mm still not long enough for birding.
but KM make teleconverters are quite ex!

yes, KM list price for 1.4X is like $800 and 2X is like $900! :faint:

HIee....

I nearly invested on it...and realised that its gonna be not that great diff from the sigma one.....that would justify the delta in cost.......tooo $$$$$

Hence still stick to my sigma 1.4 & 2.0.....usually 1.4....2.0...less used...

Sulhan,

do you happen to come across any websites or forums that did a comparison between the sigma, teleplus pro & minolta's TC?

Just happen to personally tested in in japan...but haha.deleted the files.....

But for other brands like Canon and nikon...they do have comparison and the Sigma and kenko pro are the better ones...

A bit difficult to find i can imagine... cos KM's TCs are more rare than diamonds... ;p
