Again, in my experience, it won't. I've tried the Sigma 70/2.8 on TCs with shiny metal mounts; same result.
mde1970, you might find it worthwhile to do some testing at various aperture settings to find out what f-stop you're actually getting. In my experience it is not a consistent translation. As I recall, f/1.2 on the camera did not result in the lens staying wide open, and a change of a full stop on the camera did not necessarily result in the same change at the lens -- sometimes yes, but other times no change, or a smaller or greater change.
