It could also be due to settings in the auto focus tracking.

I hope you don’t mind me nitpicking but the 7Dmkii one is at ISO 6400 whilst the R7 is at ISO 1250. Did the Sigma have the lens hood on at the time you took the photo?

No idea but there’s the Classic Car Boot Sale in Kings Cross tomorrow, gramps get a reduced ticket price with proof. :)

A converter is best used on a lens which has a fast aperture like f2.8, f4. The reasoning behind this was that these type of lenses let in more light and a teleconverter reduces the amount of light by one stop for a x1.4 and two stops for x2. With dslrs at around f8 not all can focus, need to...

The camera won’t autofocus with a 2x TC with that lens. My personal preference would be to get a secondhand Canon R50 and RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 for about £1200. You’re going to have a much better experience overall once you learn how to use it.

Start with family, friends and neighbours to build up your confidence plus it will get you past the learning the equipment phase. It reminds me of the situation where I was doing some portraits of my teenage nieces. At the end of the shoot I was struggling to fold my reflector to store it. My...

Ah, apologies, the Nikon compatibility minefield and I stepped on one. :headbang:It’s a good thing I personally went with Canon in the end.:)

The colosseum one is good.
