RE: [OM] Sigma 400/5.6 + Oly 1.4TC?

A 7 mm extension ring is enough.  Maximum focus distance drops to about 25
m, by my experiment just now.

Here is an example:  http://www.peopleplacesflight.com/babyowl.htm

You have to place an extension ring between them (I'll go check what size in
a minute) and you therefore lose infinity focus.  But the results can be
quite good at intermediate distances.

Does anyone know if the Oly 1.4TC will fit the Sigma 400/5.6 APO? Or is the
Sigma 1.4TC any good?
