sigma tele converters and canon L lenses??
just a quick question i currently have a sigma 70-200 f2.8 and the 1.4x and 2x sigma ex teleconverters, i am seriously thinking of selling the lense and getting the canon 70-200 f2.8 is usm but cant really afford the canon teleconverters so i was wondering if my sigma ones would be any good with the canon lense until i can justify the expense of the canon ones??
plus how much do you think the 70-200 f2.8 mk1 and the converters would be worth 
cheers
ady

Re: sigma tele converters and canon L lenses??
The sigma ones will work with the canon 70-200f2.8L no worries.
Jessops are currently selling the 1.4x sigma for about £50 (would love one but I is not in the UK!! So cant even order one!), usualy RRP is about £125 I think.
I bought a sigma 70-200f2.8 with the 2.0tc for $900NZ used which is about £350ish
If you want to sell the 1.4 I'd be intrested.

That only talks about sigma lens's on there. But theres another faq (I can dig out) that does confirm the sigma ones work with that canon lens.

If you scroll down and realy look you'll notice it only mentions sigma lens's for sigma bodies, sigma lens's for canon bodies, sigma lens's for nikon bodies, etc...

If you scroll down the same page on the link I posted, it moves on to Canon lens compatibility.

"SIGMA EX Apo Tele Converter
Compatibility chart for SIGMA brand lenses"
Every lens on that page is prefixed with 'APO' , unless I is blind or IE is filtering out half the page, canon dont make anty 'APO' lens's....
