Does anyone have the Sigma 70-300 APO zoom and the Sigma 1.4 TC? and does autofocus work when used together? And,, do you have any sample photos of the two together?
Actually, I would be happy for anyone to respond that just happens to know if they will work together.
Much Obliged.

Sigma TC-s don't fit physically to low-end lenses. They are similar to Canon ones. Now, Tamron and Kenko TC-s would fit, but autofocus would probably not work, and you certainly would not be happy with the quality of the photos.

Quite correct. The Sigma 1.4EX teleconvertor is not compatible with the Sigma 70-300mm APO zoom. The Sigma TC (like the Canon one) needs a lens with a recessed rear element.
