Hi guys, I have a Sigma 1.4x non DG with me that I got for cheap. However, since I just sold off my 1D2n, I'm going to lack a bit in the telephoto department. Does anyone know if the Canon 1.4x mk2 (not the newer mk3) is a lot better than the sigma 1.4x apo non DG? I have some money and was thinking that if the IQ diff is a lot, I'd just sell the sigma and get the canon.

Also, what about the canon 2x? (:

The quality difference will be marginal (if it's there at all), so I doubt you'll gain much by getting the Canon. The 2x converters impact quality, and auto focus, much more strongly than the 1.4x.

Thanks Graeme. I know that about the 2x. Is that the general consensus of the 1.4x?

There is an IQ difference between the older SIgma/Tamron TCs, to the newer EX DG, SP TCs. Myself, I will not use the older ones.
