D800 + Sigma 15 + 1.4x Converter. Anyone tried?

Hi Guys,

Do anyone tried D800 + Sigma 15 + 1.4x Converter? Do you guys know if the Sigma works both with Kenko PRO and Nikons own 1.4x?

My Ide is Close up Wide Angle in Lembeh in october. Can anyone show pictures from this setup?

Regards! Mattias

Hi Matias;

I shot quite a bit with this in Fiji. I think it works out pretty well. Others felt that you should just get closer, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I used the Kenko 1.4 TC, not sure about the new Nikon.

Thanks for sharing! I really like the sharpness in this pictures. What port configuration do you use with the 1.4x?

The top two were shot with the Nauticam 8.5" acrylic port + a 20mm ext. The bottom with the 9" Zen glass dome + a 20mm ext.
