I was lucky to spot a great deal from a guy in the States who wanted to sell a Sigma 120-300 2.8 with the 1.4 and 2x TCs - I paid less than 1200 quid for the lot and the gear is in perfect nick
During a gap between the showers today I managed to get down to Gunnersbury Park and play with my new toys
1) No pp on this just cropped, 300mm at f2.8, ISO200
2) No pp on this just cropped, 300mm plus 1.4x TC at f4, ISO200
3) No pp on this just cropped, 300mm plus 2x TC at f5.6, ISO200
4) Cropped and tweaked in PSE6 300mm plus 1.4x TC at f4, ISO200
5) Cropped and tweaked in PSE6 300mm plus 1.4x TC at f4, ISO200
6) Cropped and tweaked in PSE6 300mm at f7.1, ISO200
7) NOT just feathered fliers to be seen Cropped and tweaked in PSE6 300mm at f7.1, ISO200
8) Yep - another mallard and tweaked in PSE6 300mm at f7.1, ISO200
So far, so good, I think I am going to love this lens - providing I don't collapse carrying it around It will take some time to get the hang of handling it and the TCs work well with AF working fine in all cases.
