Anyone use the Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro with the 1.4 T.C.?

[Wail]

I have narrowed down my decision on the long-range macro lens that I am looking to buy; it's either to be the Sigma 150 f/2.8 with the 1.4 T.C., or the Nikon 200 f/4. ... but it seems the Sigma may win :thinking:

When compared, the two set-ups are very close in price; but the Sigma would give me the added advantage of two different focal lengths (with and without the T.C.).

If anyone has images of the Sigma with the T.C., please post here .. or link.

Thanks

Thank you :) .. I have asked my local camera store to see if they can price match Jessops .. if so, then it's Sigma with the 1.4 TC.

I am sure you will enjoy it :)

Thank you .. may I ask, these pictures, where they hand-held or mounted on a tripod?

Again, thank you for the posts and pictures.
