Mixing Older SIgma Teleconverters for Canon EOS with a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 on a Full Frame Canon SLR

Tamron 70-200 DI VC VSD F2.8 and use it with a Sigma APO Teleconverter x1.4 EX DG.
It works OK for me. I imagine whichever teleconverter you choose will work okay. I own both the Canon 6D and a 5D MK IV, so I ran off some test shots with my Tamron 70-200 F/2.8 at various zooms and F-Stops to give you an idea. Keep in mind these have been reduced 2200 pixel width and you will need to click on each photo to view large. These images were shot using a tripod and VC was turned off.



Here are some sample shots testing with the Canon 6D and the Sigma APO Teleconverter 2x EX DG. Focusing with the 2x teleconverter using the viewfinder is not great, in fact sometimes almost impossible, but I have found going into Live View and use Live View focusing and the 6D and the 5D MK IV nail focus instantly every time.

The Live View focusing with this 2x teleconverter is really good, so maybe someone else wants to try this if they are finding hard to lock focusing issues with a teleconverter.
