Romy Ocon's review

This is my favorite 2x TC among all my TCs (the other two are the Sigma non-DG 2x and standard Tamron 2x) because it's the sharpest when used with my 500 f4 IS and Sigmonster.

Here's a couple of moonshots with this TC coupled with:

Sigmonster, 1600 mm http://www.pbase.com/liquidstone/image/76106046/original

500 f4 IS, 1000 mm http://www.pbase.com/liquidstone/image/69854868/original


And some bird photos with the Sigmonster, 1600 mm:

On a sharp base lens, this TC can produce very decent results.
