Sigma 105mm macro

Hi all

I have the above lens, and I was wondering if anyone had tried this with either or both of the Sigma 1.4 and 2x teleconverters?

Should it work ok?

Thanks in advance.

Doesnt fit Joe - well not on mine anyway! The rear element of the macro lens mashes with the front element on the convertor.

Cheers!

Looks like im saving for the 180mm version then

Or even the 120-300

Sure do!

I wanted a longer focal length for insect work this summer.

There is a review of the Tamron, Sigma and Canon 180mm macro lenses....the Tamron actually scores slightly better than both the Sigma and the Canon.

You read AP too then?

From the review there doesnt really seem to be much to chose between them. I was going to go for the Sigma due to the lower focusing noise and the fact that from HK its over £100 cheaper.
