Amazon.com Product Description
The Sigma APO Teleconverter 1.4x EX DG for Canon Digital SLR Cameras is a dedicated APO teleconverter that can be mounted between select lenses and the camera body to increase the focal length by the power of 1.4. The multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital cameras. The lens also offers maximum magnification without any variation in the minimum focusing distance. Compact and lightweight, this teleconverter can convert your lenses into longer focal-length lenses, so you don't have to do a lot of unnecessary footwork. A case for the lens is included.

 Sigma T.C. August 19, 2010
Gary
This is the most useful T.C. to use. I use it only on the Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens and the Sigma 500mm f4.5 lens. It AF is fast and accurate and If used on a tripod or monopod I get some really good images. I really would not recommend this for anything slower than f5.0. Only my personal opinion. Good piece of glass. It is spectacular on the 500mm f4.5 lens. Sharp as a tack.

As far as I can determine, the teleconverter does not function as advertised, if at all. I am still evaluating it.
I love it May 14, 2010

So I dont have too much experience with camera lenses but I just love this one. I originally had a my standard 18-55mm kit lens for my canon xsi and a standard 50 mm f1.8 and I felt like I was in the need of some zoom. I was kinda looking at 50-300 lenses but I felt like I'd hate to have to keep switching lenses since I usually take pictures on the go in the outdoors. I shopped around a bit then picked this one and I just love it. From what I can tell the picture quality is pretty good and I just love the general feel of the lens. It's just perfect for on the go and I have no complaints especially for the price I got it for. Just a great traveling lens. I highly recommend it!!!
perfect for a large range February 3, 2010

I had this lens for one week, and it is perfect for travel,
and when you don t know what where you are going to take pictures,
the built quality is excellent (as sigma does usual)
and it is very compact and light for a large range lens.
just not very sharp pictures at 18mm,
but with this kind of lens it is well known
and it is still better than the kit-lenses 18-55mm that I have.
if you see the concurrence : bigger, more bulky,
sometime the telephoto-lens increase by itself if you chose the wrong position...
and it can resist if you want to change focal between 18 and 200mmm,
with this one: you have NOT these problems !!!
of course there you can find more rage (18-270 for example),
but for me 18-200 is enough and also it is more compact,
there is no stabilization and ultra-sonic focus but,
first, the stab is not needed if you have a Pentax SLR,
and second, the ultrasonic-focus is more expensive
and not always needed and increase the size of the lens.
for me this lens is excellent with my Pentax K10D and my Pentax k-x
.... and by the way, this lens is not expensive at all.
Easy for a beginner to use January 27, 2010

I am very new to digital SLR photography, and I got this lens just a few days before going on a trip overseas. Even with virtually no practice with this lens and little experience with SLRs at all, I ended up getting really great pictures. The zoom was powerful (for the money) and it also gave me good detail and texture shots close up. I brought another lens on the trip, but after the second day it stayed in the hotel and I used this one exclusively. It was easy to learn and simple to use right away, and I'm looking forward to learning more about its capabilities as I gain more experience with SLR photography. It was a fantastic purchase for me, and I'd get it again with no hesitation.
