Has anyone used or does anyone know if the 1.4x and 2.0x Canon converters work with the 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM lens? Thanks.

    Ooops - sorry, didn't notice it was a Sigma.

    I have that lens with both of the tc's that you're asking about.

    I have used the 1.4 on the lens with good results.

    The 2X pretty much stays on my Canon 300 f2.8. I believe I tried the 2X on the Sigma and thought that the
    pictures looked better coming from the Canon combo.

    For what it's worth, that lens in combo with the Sigma 1.4X TC is absolutely stellar. I honestly cannot discern any degradation of IQ or focus speed shooting sports.

    I have the Sigma 120-300 non OS. You will be better off getting the Sigma TC's.

    the Sig 120-300 2.8 looks great, maybe some day I'll find a good used bargain one

    Be sure to protect your eyes. The shots are so sharp, you may cut your eyes. :D
