compatibility of telecoverters with different L-mount lens brands

[Vadium]

Hi!

Can you tell me who knows about teleconverters - if you put on a Lumix converter, it's compatible not only with Lumix lenses, but also with Sigma lenses? or are there nuances? I looking for TC 2x for Sigma 60-600

Best regards,
Vadim

I have the Lumix 1.4x TC and while it works on my Sigma 105mm macro and 150-600mm, it doesn't report the correct aperture data. I think this is true of both Lumix converters on all compatible Sigma lenses. I have heard that Sigma converters work fine with Lumix lenses, though have never tried one.

This is correct. Sigma TCs work both with Sigma and LUMIX lenses, but LUMIX converters only work with LUMIX lenses (electronically speaking). Note that if you get an older Sigma TC, you might have to upgrade the firmware for it to work with a LUMIX lens, which, if I recall correctly, requires a Sigma Dock.
