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. Regards

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: http://www.daytonphoto.com/Galleries/Blue%20Angels/index.htm I have used the Kenko 1.5 SHX and the Tamron 1.4 AF converters and they are not as good as the Sigma. -- Bruce Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 7:17:36 AM, you wrote: PG> Talking of T/Cs I've been debating whether to wait for the 60 - 250 or PG> get the sigma 70-200 f/2.8 + 1.4x TC combo or possibly the 100-300 f/4 PG> + 1.4x TC PG> I know that the 70-200 f/2.8 enjoys a good reputation but i know PG> nothing about their t/c...
