However they have an MC4 AF 1.4x DGX for Sony. Presumably this is in some way an 'older' model? Does anyone have a view on the quality results with this one?
One other question on these. I understand I have to specify the camera body it will be mounted on. I assume there is no need to specify whether the lenses are Sony or Sigma?

Please excuse my ignorance on lack of knowledge on Sony cameras but I thought they all used an A-mount and it was just the NEX that used the new E-mount.

And I'm betting neither will the Sigmas! But the Kenkos will!

I've seen lesser cameras use a TC with AF - just that the less sensitive the focus system the more contrast/light you need
I never said it was easy, just possible!
