IMHO, you should never use a tele converter on any lens slower than f2.8 and certainly never, never less than f4. The Siggy has a max aperture of f5 so it pretty much is a no go. Again, IMHO. BTW, Sigma makes a 1.4x converter, the Sigma TC-1401 1.4x Teleconverter for Canon EF.

Yes, It is clear that a 11000$ prime Canon L lens is better than a 2000$ zoom lens but I intended to show how good the sigma is compare to a benchmark lens and I must say that it is defiantly good though the higher ISO used by my friend has affected sigma images.

The aperture of the 100-300mm f2.8 with a 2x tele is not THAT much bigger than the aperture of say a sigma 150-600mm at 600 f6.3 (still, the Canon here is a good 27% bigger) but it's also capable of going to 100mm, not just 150mm, which can really help and at nearly 2 stops faster on the "wide" end.

Agree with the others that the RF 1.4x is an excellent addition to the bag. It's very sharp and fast-focusing, even more capable than the 1.4x iii (on the 100-400ii). I've hardly had mine off the RF 100-500, it's that good (I do mostly birding). A couple of samples from the R5

Hi guys I am not so convinced having the 100-400 II is an improvment to my gear. as the sigma 150-600 is more reach and I find my 300mm f4 has more reach with the 1.4x mk1 extender watch my video and let me know what you think? hi guys why not watch my video and
