Perhaps BIF but the lens can be used for many other purposes. That is what is meant and the TCs are great for many other uses.

To a lesser extent, the TC light loss also affects ISO noise ....

Do not discount the Sigma too much. I have both and the 100-400 Canon is a good lens for what it is. But the Sigma's are VERY close, in most cases too close to differentiate. Plus, they are 50% more reach for less than half the price of the Canon, not to mention 4 times the warranty. I took this pic 2 weeks ago and just sold full rights for it to a NYC Publishing company for more than my lens cost. Oh yeah, my lens was a Sigma Sport used at full 600mm zoom, hand held, at dusk.
And remember, 400mm at F5.6 with a TC is only 560mm at F8. Hardly a desirable shooting choice.

Just a note. I believe that the max f-stop for autofocus on your 7D is f5.6, so AF won't work when using the teleconverter, but will work without it.

That is correct for a 7D. If the OP has a 7D Mark II, than he would have AF with the center point only and a maximum aperture of f/8.

I recently purchased a new Canon 100-400 II telephoto lens, and it is by far, the best piece of glass that I've ever bought or used and that includes some old 35mm high end prime lenses. I know nothing about the Sigma line of lenses, but I shoot Canon and want Canon lenses. FWIW, I don't put Chevy parts in my Ford!


The Chevy parts would increase the value of your Ford.

Chevy parts will definitely improve that!

Can't take a chance on a defective Chevy part. Drive my Yugo 4.6 miles weekly and need a dependable vehicle.

Mine only needs one gear for that.

No it's a Jeep. I actually have two of them, one just wasn't enough.



Jeep=Just Empty Every Pocket.

Sort of like Canon lenses! Chat with you later, getting ready to go to an Eagles party now.

What he said!
As a Sigma 150-600mm Sports owner I agree the Sigma is a lot of lens for the price.
