Sigma 150mm with kenko converter?

[thijs broekkamp]

Does anyone have experience with the sigma 150mm and kenko converter? I know that it perfomes excellent with the sigma converter, but is it still sharp with a kenko (/soligor) converter?

Hi thijs, I own the Sigma 150mm macro. I have not used the Kenko converter but have used it with a Tamron Pro SP 1.4x telecoverter which I have read is very similar to the Kenko. I have been pleased with the results of the Sigma 150mm and the Tamron Pro TC - plenty sharp enough for my tastes anyway.

Here is a sample shot (hand held) if you are interested:
