I find it as sharp as my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II, so I am quite happy with it. Bokeh is quite nice, too. Here is the real news - the Canon 2X Extender III does not fit. When attached, it squeaks a bit and I took it no further. Since that TC fits on the Sigma 150mm Macro, I had hoped it would fit the 180.

You probably have "quick mode" focus set. The mirror drops and standard focus is used. If you set to "live mode" it will focus (slowly) with smaller apertures. It works with my 7D 400 f5.6L + 2 1.4x TCs stacked. -- Brian Hi, I have just purchased a Canon EF 2X III teleconverter, it's between a Canon 70D and a Canon EF 100-400mm IS-L USM lens. The TTL auto focus does not function, BUT, with the ground breaking dual pixel CMOS in the Canon 70D, I can use the lens's auto focus in LIVE VIEW. The length and weight of this combination means no hand held, tripod only.
Only Canon prime lenses 130mm or longer and the various versions of the 70-200mm and 100-400mm are officially compatible with the Canon extenders. To maintain auto focus with any of the Rebel/xx0D and xx00D series of cameras you will need a lens with f/4 or faster maximum aperture when using a 1.4X extender or teleconverter and a lens with f/2.

My decision to change the lens (camera body is a separate story), was mainly due to the overall weight and the extra awkward length added by the adapter. I was very happy with the IQ yielded by the Sigma 150-600C, so . 99 398 173 196 45 156 303 51 79
