Originally posted by Mike.P® I notice the converter is DG EX so is that going to cause any problems with a non DG lens?
Mike,
DG simply means that the rear element of the lens (the part facing the CCD) has been coated to avoid light reflected from the CCD to bounce off the element and go back to the CCD. Using a non-DG lens with a DG TC, if anything, is a good thing as the rearmost element of your lens combo now has a DG coating
I am also eyeing this Sigma lens and might decide to buy it if the seller gives me a good price. I would like to hear from you what you think of it. I know the EX APO DG Macro version has a great reputation, but I'm not sure about the EX APO. I'll go read the reviews
here, but they are mixed amongst different versions.
