Looking for a Tokina to try out with my 170-500 sigma. I have read that they IQ is pretty bad adding a TC to that lens which is why I'm looking here for a used one instead of wasting over $100 on a new one. I think it would be nice to have one available for photographic emergencies :D

    I'm not sure if there is a Tokina TC. I know Tamron has a couple of them, consumer and prograde and Tokina has a Kenko version of it.

    The more expensive Pro version by Tamron and Kenko are identical from what I hear.

    BTW, I think the 170-500 is a f5.6-6.3 and you may lose AF if you use a TC.

    Oops! you're right, I ment KENKO. I should never post that early in the morning (well, right after i woke up). Now I just need to get a moderator to change the title for me.

    I know for sure I'll lose autofocus with the TC, just want it for some extra reach if needed (obviously wouldn't work for birds-in-flight).
