I am interested in a 1.4x for my 200 f/2.8. How does this lens work with extenders and which one would be better, the Canon or Sigma?

bob_r Goldmember More info | Jun 13, 2010 13:54 | #3 The lens works great with extenders - even with the 2x. I use a Sigma, but doubt there's much difference between Sigma's and Canon's. Canon 7D, 5D, 35L, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8, 135L, 200L, 10-22, 17-55, 70-300, 100-400L, 500D, 580EX(2).

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Thanks for the feedback! I like the Canon just because I like to keep all equipment possible with Canon. I like the Sigma beause it matches the black color and I no longer have any white lenses. Can you all post some pictures taken with the 200 and a 1.4? Also, please let me know what cameras they were taken with? Canon 1D Mark IV | Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM
