Re: M50ii + EF-S 55-250mm STM + Kenko SHQ 1.5x Teleconverter

Thank you - with my efs-55-250 (non stm) even at 250 the hawks are slightly too far away.  I never captured anything other than just rough detrail - very hard to make out the fact - that is how out of range I was with my setup.  I never took bird pictures with serious effort before so walking around the yard and setting up for a shot I realized they had bigger boundaries then I notice if I was just walking by.  My advice to anyone starting to take pictures with birds spend time learning their tendencies to fly away so you are used to it when you finally try to take pics (just in case a complete amateur like me ever reads this).

I am interested in the sigma - I really need that far reach and perhaps with the sharper results Larry is getting I arrive at roughly the same price had I just bought a new stm lens and TC and software.  Who knows, I may still benefit from the software even with the 15-600.  I like this idea.

BTW, for others considering the 55-250 STM setup with TC, when I was researching I found that the 1.4 Kenko dgx was about $140 and not sure about used prices but had a hard time finding the 1.5. I did find it in ebay for $55 used.
