Well, I was just going to do these when the request was made. Here's 500mm and 700mm with the Sigma 1.4x. Applied a bit of USM, otherwise full framed shots one stop down.

And 1000mm and 1400mm (which is reported as 1000mm). All four shots were with the OS on.

Here's the moon at 500mm and 1400mm. That's not vignetting - it's my roofline. Again, each one stop down with a bit of USM.

Just about 8 pm here. I may need a few tips on getting the moon just right. I'm going to shoot a few more after dark. Any suggestions? MLU and a couple of stops down?

Here are the 1000 and 1400 mm. Kind of ugly at 100% crop. I may have to make prints just to see how they do.

The 700mm looks pretty usable, no surprise with the softening effects of 2x and 2.8x. Nice lens, Tony.

Looks very good at 500 and decent at 700! Thanks, Tony.

Perhaps a 2x TC maximum, f/16 - f/18, 1/50 slowest shutter, lowest ISO to occupy 3/4 of the histogram, MLU or Live View, plus remote switch or timer.

These crops are looking great. Looks like Sigma may have a good seller on their hands.
