Brand new: Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter TC-1401 (Latest model) for Canon

Received the TC as part of the bundle with Sigma 150-600 lens but I don't plan on using it so would like to sell it. The converter is BRAND new and have been been used or mounted on the camera. In fact, I only took it out of the box to take pictures.

It does not come with it's own box as it came with lens box but it does come with a carrying case, warranty paper and instruction manual.

Sells for $350 in store. I'll take $300 net for it.

Do you know if it is compatible with more lenses than the Canon equivalent? I have a Canon 2X but too limited on some of the lenses I can use it. I'm thinking about getting one compatible with my 18-135... assuming such a creature exists... Just starting my search...

Thanks.

Teleconverters do not work with every lens due to the way they are constructed. There should be enough space on the rear of the lens to accommodate a TC and that's why only the lenses designed for TC will accommodate it.

As far as I know there is no TC that will work with 18-135.

sorry I looked it up at B&H and its a kit so I think the lens and the converter go together I suggest you keep it do not sell it until you try it out

Yes, it comes as a kit but that doesn't mean that the TC is designed for only one lens.

I don't think I'll ever use it because I bought the lens for A7rII and TC does not work with adapters.

I just looked up my lens to see if it it compatible. At best it appears to be compatible in manual focus mode. Likely it's not compatible at all.
Here is the chart for the sigma site:

SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 and TC-2001 are dedicated to Tele Converter lenses, which should be used with only listed lenses.
The converter cannot be attached to the camera and lens whose mount is different.
Do not use the SIGMA TELE CONVERTER on top of another SIGMA TELE CONVERTER, or any other kinds of converters.

Hope this shed's some light on the subject.
