I recommend never using any TCs on the big Sigmas as they are already a pretty slow lens and any extender will make them hard to manually focus, which you will have to do as they do not work in autofocus mode with any extender.
On the 70-200mm F2.8 lenses, you will retain AF even with a 2X TC mounted, but it will be slower to AF and the image quality does degrade noticeably. It is VERY accepting of the 1.4X TCs though, a combo I use regularly.
Is the performance of the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 + 1.4x TC significantly better than the Sigma 150-500mm?
