1.4 extender

[GordyDunwoking]

Hi i have the new Sigma 100 to 400 E mount lens. My question is will the Sony 1.4 extender work with the lens and if so how good is it. I have the a7iii camera

I don't think it does, sadly, because of the back element.

Hi, do you use ‘clear image zoom’ ?
I use it with my a7iii and Sony 100-400 and if gives a very impressive up to x2 Magnification.
This function only works when shooting jpeg so if often overlooked if you shoot RAW.
I fine tune the focus with manual focusing but overall it is really impressive .

Thanks for the info very helpful. The big thing is that i have heard a rumour that Sony will not let Sigma bring out a 1.4 or 2 extender for this lens

My understanding is that Sony runs open standards on its lenses.
