"New" T/C's?

[Jens Bladt]

Some very nice shots, Bruce!.
Not a bad lens combination.
I especially love the one with the jets in a row - and the smoke stripe
behind the planes. Brilliant.

I have the Sigma 100-300/4 and the Sigma 1.4X EX combination.  It is
quite good.  The lens is very nice and works well with the converter.

This entire gallery was shot with that combination:

I have used the Kenko 1.5 SHX and the Tamron 1.4 AF converters and
they are not as good as the Sigma.
