And using the converter is giving you f.4.;)

I had a peep at the exif here and see you are shooting at ISO 400 obviously due to light conditions but looking through my monitor I am seeing a tremendous ammount of noise on the 1st bird shot..:(

Which TC is it?

my 70-200 f2.8 becomes an f4 280mm with the sigma 1.4x tc.

i agree, more grain that you should be seeing at iso400 on a 350D. what have you done to them post processingwise?

No offence but I thought that lens was meant to be good? They look like they were taken on an A70 or something. Whats gone wrong?

[Fangman]

The 1.5 converter is not Sigma! I will have a try in better light without the converter and all were at full aperture.
