Compatiblity

  • SIGMA APO Tele Converter 1.4x and 2x are dedicated to Tele Converter lenses, which should be used with only listed lenses.
  • Cannot be attached to a camera and lens whose mount is different.
  • Cannot be used in combination with another APO TELE CONVERTER EX DG or other manufacturer’s converter. Only one tele converter can be used at one time.

Attaching the APO Tele Converter to the Lens

First, attach the APO Tele Converter EX to the master lens. Then, attach the lens and the Tele Converter to the camera body. If you attach the Tele Converter to the camera body first it may cause a malfunction.

Exposure

Using the APO Tele Converter EX decreases the effective aperture by one F-stop (with 1.4x Tele Converter) or by two F-stops (with 2x Tele Converter). Regardless of exposure mode, correct exposure can be obtained.
If using a lens which has ● in the list, the camera's display will indicate the converted exposure information. If using a lens which does not have ● in the list while using a hand-held exposure meter, you should increase the exposure reading by 1-stop for the APO 1.4x Tele Converter EX or by 2-stops for the APO 2x Tele Converter EX.

Focusing

On the lists, the lenses marked "AF" will retain auto focus operation when used with a Tele Converter. The lenses marked "MF can only be used for manual focus.
Some lenses will be operated AF even the list of NIKON mentioned "MF", however, be aware that these lenses cannot focus precisely by auto focusing. Therefore, please use such lenses in MF mode when teleconverter is attached.

  • *1 When the Tele Converter is attached, the zoom range will be restricted to between 100mm to 500mm.
  • *2 With 1.4x APO Tele Converter, AF can operate between infinity and 0.52m. If the subject is closer than 0.52m, only MF is available.
  • *3 With 1.4x APO Tele Converter, AF can operate between infinity and 0.45m. If the subject is closer than 0.45m, only MF is available.
  • *4 With 1.4x APO Tele Converter, AF can operate between infinity and 0.53m. If the subject is closer than 0.53m, only MF is available.
  • *5 With 1.4x APO Tele Converter, AF can operate between infinity and 1.2mm. If the subject is closer than 1.2m, only MF is available.
  • *6 With 1.4x APO Tele Converter, AF can operate between infinity and 0.67m. If the subject is closer than 0.67m, only MF is available.
  • *7 Once you update the firmware to the latest version, it becomes incompatible with this.
  • *8 Regarding the converter compatibility for SONY Serial Numbers above than 5000001, please contact our customer support center.
