Will this work with the 50-500 Sigma lens? Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM SLD Ultra Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Camera

It will only work in manual focus mode with the 50-500mm (i.e. you'll have to focus the lens manually). Like any other 2x converter it will not only double the focal length, but also decrease the aperture by two stop making the lens too dark for any camera to focus automatically (i.e. f/6.3 -> f/18 @ 500mm)!The camera autofocus only works on lens faster than f/2.8, like the 70-200 f/2.8 (or 120-300 f/2.8) for example with this 2x teleconverter

Yes, it will work per Sigma APO Teleconveter reference guide.APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM MF MF * MF MF MF MF MF MF * - - MF MF *See Sigma site for APO Teleconverter compatibility: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/teleconverter-compatibilityI have a Sigma 70-200MM f/2.8 lens and I use this Sigma APO EX DG 2x converter and it works great but keep in mind it will work in Manual Focus only...

No. It will only work with the line of new Sigma lenses in the Art, Contemporary and Sport lines.

I have a Sigma 150-500 and your lens looks similar in size and unfortunately it will not hold my 7d, 5d mark II or canon rebel with this lens attached. It will however hold any of my cameras with the 100mm canon lens that I have attached to any of them. Cheers!

Can't say. It was not compatible with my Canon zoom. It worked on my Sigma lens, but the resulting image was poor. When I compared the 2X converter image with the non-converter image blown up to the same size, the non-converter image was sharper.

No, it will not. It works just with a limited number of SIGMA lens. Have a look on the SIGMA website. It does not work with any lens of different company (Nikon, Canon, Pentax ecc.). Better: it can increase magnitude of 1.4 but you will loose both autofocus and automatic exposure. Frankly speaking, I use it (not frequently) together SIGMA 300 mm f: 2.8. The autofocus is not very precise, slow and the quality of the photos is not fantastic considering the whole amount of money that the lens (both) costed. Regards

If you check the manufacturer webpage (http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/150-500mm-f5-63-apo-dg-os-hsm) it says: "Nikon Mount: Built in motor lens: compatible with D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D5000"

No. In my review I noted it only works with canon lenses. Sigma and others will not work

Yup, as this is an AF-S lens, it'll work and focus with you D50. As a matter of fact, the D50 camera kit actually comes with this very lens!

Sigma makes similar lenses for several camera manufacturers, including their own. You can buy a Sigma lens for a Sigma, an Olympus, a Nikon, a Canon and so on. Amazon listings are placed by Amazon and by third parties listing on Amazon. I list my cameras and lenses when I'm ready to upgrade and sell them through Amazon. I agree with you if a listing says its a Sigma lens designed to work with a Canon camera, then it should work with a Canon DSLR and all Canon DSLR bodies should auto focus. The DC designation means it's designed to cover an APS-C sensor, which 10D - 60D and the Rebel series use. If a third party incorrectly lists a Sigma lens, you could get one designed to work for another camera's manufacturer's camera but that's probably not likely. Most people know what they have and how to list it.

I have no idea as I have never used a Sigma lens. I know with my Tamron... I do get good shots with it. Only problem is using it runs my battery down faster. Sorry couldnt help, but I love mine.

I'm using Sigma lens on my Rebel T4i. I bought them for my Canon Rebel XT years ago. These lens have Canon mounts on them. I didn,t get enought time with this camera to see if it is as good as the older Rebel

Funny you should mention that! I got the converter for my (Canon Mount) Sigma DG 70-300 mm lens. The converter fits the camera nicely but t didn't fit the Sigma lens! Waiting for an answer from Sigma. I can tell you this: if the lens element closest to the camera mount is flush or protrudes from the lens it WILL NOT fit the 2x converter.

I don't own a Canon camera with that size lens, so I do not know. Good luck!

The adapter I got only allows the lens to fit on the canon, but autofocus does not work. I don't have a sigma lens, so I'm not sure whether yours would autofocus.

It all depends on what filter size your lens requires. I believe the Canon 50mm f/1.8 uses a 52mm filter which this kit includes so it should work fine.

Although i havent tried it ith that lens specificially, it works with all lens that I have tried including the Sigma 50-500. Auto focus may not work very well however because of the loss in aperture. I also found that instead of individual sensor focus, group sensor auto focus works more reliably.

According to the compatibility list on the Sigma web site it will not work. I would recommend the Kenko Pro 300 1.4x TC., it will work on lenses from 50mm and larger. I use the 2.0 x and it works very well and the AF still works on most all of my lenses too.
