Because I wish to get either/or and your opinion would weigh in on my decision to buy... What about extension tubes? Are you into that macro stuff? Anyway, Take your time and enjoy the new lens and post some Ducks... To be honest, the price had a lot to do with it. I bought a second 20D, a grip with a battery, and the Bigma for $1,450.00. I was, in fact, leaning towards the 100-400mm, but this was simply too good a deal to pass up. Steve

Now the doubler, I hear your Tamron might not cut it... I've read similar statements in other postings...The questions about same, are somewhere in other threads...don't know if they got a good answer. Earlier today, printed out the compatibility list for both the Sigma and Canon 1.4x..on the B & H web site, listed with the lens description...have yet to interpret it...It's easy reading and tells you if you get manual or Auto focus...plus the f stop conversion etc... Yeah, I put the two of them on the camera last night and got nothing. If I have to sell the Tamron and go with something else, I certainly will... Steve
