Hi everyone
I have done a search of the forum so apologies if this has been asked before and I missed it ...
I'm going on Safari next year (woohoo!) and I'd pretty much decided that the Sigma 100-300mm f4 + 1.4xTC would be an ideal lens/TC combination.
But I have been wondering if one of the recent 70-200mm f2.8 + 2xTC would be a better option. I can't imagine anyone has had both of these combinations, but are there any obvious advantages or drawbacks that I may be missing?
I believe that the 100-300mm + 1.4TC will be a 140-420mm f5.6 and the 70-200mm + 2xTC will become 140-400mm f5.6.
Although I'd be losing 20mm at the long end, I would gain an extra stop at the short end (when not using the TC) and have a lighter weight lens when using hand held (no TC). But would the image quality suffer too much with a 2xTC?
Thanks for your help
