For any tele-extender/lens/camera combination it is wise to check compatibility before purchase. In some cases, only an OEM device will work properly, in others several will be ok. Even within a brand, not all extenders will work with all lenses. The comment that these devices are really intended for fixed focal length lenses should be considered. Best of luck. Happy New Year!

Can you use a extender on Sigma 150/500 lens ?

Thank you Cappy, I was afraid the 70d was more for video because they talk so much about that part, I don't do video just shoot photos.

Thank you Bozsik. I like my 6d, but was amazed at the difference with my rebel t2i with so much more reach & it is now acting up so I am thinking of replacing it with the 70d or 7dmk II but worried the latter will be to hard to learn on. I did like the sigma 150/500 on the rebel.

Thank you for the information. When I purchased this lens I wasn't thinking about getting an extender until I bought the canon 6d I was using it on a rebel t2i. I am looking at a 7d mk II or a 70d trying to decide, leaning towards the 70d
worried the other will be to hard to use because I am still trying to learn the settings.

From an old email to Sigma tech support, using extenders on their new lenses is a major compatibility problem.

Thank you Robert, do the Tamron have the same problem making them manual ?
I will look at the Kenko Pro 300 line.

Sigma's compatibility chart shows their extenders will work but no auto focus. And they are not meant to work with any other lenses but those on the chart.

Something like the Kenko Pro 300 line is made to work with a huge number of lens, just as long as their short end is 70 mm and above.

You can, however it may not auto focus due to losing too many stops of light.

Thank you Donald for letting me know.

canon refurb opinions

I ordered the refurbished SX 50 and it constantly is clicking like it is trying to focus, I have to send it back, I hope the next one is better.

Look at the Canon 430 EXII, also consider the Battery grip if you do verticals.

I love my set-up.

I still like my T2i for the reach, the 24-105 f/4 L is my first L lens also and I really like it so far, I plan on trying it more this weekend. I will be looking forward to your opinion on the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8. and hope you post a few shots with it. I only have one prime Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens so far I purchased recently. Thank you for responding J.R.

Attached is a unset I did last night I have taken photos of my gran kid
And they turned out great. Hope his helps

Beautiful sunset, Chuckwal, makes me want to get out and start using my new camera, but have a lot to do right now. I got the same lens with mine and the pixma pro 100 printer still in the box! I haven't had mine to long and hope to fall in love with it this summer. Looking at flashes for it also, leaning toward the 580EX.

I will look at the older ones, I have been looking on keh & canon, adorama & B&H for refurbished ones, I guess because it was the newer one most are about as much as new. Thank you heyjoe
