Hey James,

on a full frame camera the 70-200 is way to short, even with the 1.4X TC it is really pushing it.  you may be better served picking up a 7D MKII or even a 7D and use that with the 70-200 + 1.4X TC  I have used the Sigma 120-300 2.8 with the 1.4X TC and loved the combo, and since I shoot less action photos now a days, I actually picked up the Sigma 150-600 and it really works well for field sports on sunny to overcast days, but once the sun gets too low or you have to shoot under the lights your done.  if I had to choose, pound for pound the Sigma 120-300 2.8 OS lens is very hard to beat! wish I would have never sold it.

best of luck

Paul.
