Hi All,

I've just got my 120-300 2.8 and I am looking for anyone who has any experience of using these with the 1.4X and 2X TC

The lens will be used with a 1Ds Mkii and I'll be looking at the sigma & canon (Mki / Mkii) TC offerings.

I currently have a jessops 2x TC but thats very cheap & cheerful!
 
I am off out with my 120-300 OS and 2x sigma apo EX DC tomorrow and will report back. From my limited usage so far without the TC its fast and sharp at f2.8 and with the x2 its still faster than my old 150-500 and usable at f5.6 but sharper at f6.3 and above.
 
Excellent news! Its replacing my 150-500 so that's really good to know!
For what I will be doing I won't miss the OS

The OS lens has other improvements above the OS system, its optically much better too apparently.
 
Ahhh ok, sorry I didn't realise they did a non-OS 150-500, my mistake!
 
The original 120-300 works very well with the 1.4x, a combo I used for a few years before going 'all Nikon' with my last body upgrade. As always, technique can be the key with the focal lengths involved!
