Sigma 135-400mm f/4.5-5.6 APO and a tamron 1.4 pz-af mc4 teleconveter

42nd st photo has the Sigma 135-400mm f/4.5-5.6 APO-ASP Lens for 480.00 dollars. Would a tamron 1.4 pz-af mc4 teleconveter work on this lens?

It will work.

At the long end, the auto focus will hunt a bit. But if there is something contrasty to lock on, it'll be OK.

That TC should fit onto the lens OK.

Under what kind of lighting will you usually be shooting? Also, what subjects?

For fast sports or birds-in-flight, I don't think you will be happy, unless there is plenty of light. With a TAMRON 2x TC on my SIGMA 70-300mm f4-5.6, at 70mm AF sounds weird and hunts alot. It often avoids locking on all-together. (F4 with a 2x TC is about equal to F5.6 with a 1.4x TC).

Plenty of light or static / slow subjects is best.
