Unfortunately, the supplier has not given us an earlier delivery date. This can happen with items with poor availability, which are also stored abroad.
Digitec obtains some of the Sigma lenses from a grey dealer and then logically there is no card from the official importer. My own experience. This is not declared in the shop.
It definitely will affect the AF because it is not an native RF lens, you might not get the same amount of keeper shots but it certainly is a good entry into the systen. But don't expect to photograph fast action and getting reliable af.
No, we don't know. But we can assume that a 2.8/70-200 for L and E-mount will come. I assume that Sigma has not yet managed to get the autofocus good enough, otherwise it would have been on the market long ago.
For other products, there is also no warranty card shown. The Sigma lenses in the Swiss shops, including here, come via Ott and Wyss. They still came with an SSC warranty card.
Hello,
Yes, I myself bought the TC-2001 and its little brother, the TC-1401 (1.4x) and they work very well with this zoom. However, contrary to what is noted in the description, it is not compatible with the "C" versions of sigma lenses. I also have a zoom lens from this series and it cannot be shown on the TC-2001 and 1401.
According to the manufacturer's information and the forums, this lens should be suitable for use with an FTZ adapter. However, you may have problems getting the autofocus to work.
Canon only refers to its own glass:

Sigma teleconverters (TC-1401, TC-2001) support the lens:

Hello
This lens is not available with the E mount for Sony cameras. All Sigma lenses that work with Sony cameras can be found at:
https://www.sigma-foto.de/objektive/sony-e-mount/
There you will also find an adapter, but I don't know if it works for all Sigma lenses.
What does FX, EF or DG mean?
These lenses are designed to be used with full frame sensors. They are called full frame because they are the same size as 24×36 mm film. Although these lenses are designed for full frame SLRs, they are also perfectly compatible with APS-C SLRs.

It's a good lens, quite heavy and well made. I use it again and again on a full-frame camera. The focus is not always the fastest. Of course this lens fits the D40x, and the focus should work as far as I know (it's a normal electronic focus, not one with the screw). However, the focal length range on a crop camera is then 105-300mm.
I would definitely recommend this lens, especially if you are thinking of moving to a full frame Nikon later on. If not, there are probably cheaper lenses that can image well with your 10 MP.
No one. It depends on what you want to photograph and what you value. Does it always have to be sharp down to the last pixel? (Nikon is sharper than Sigma at open aperture). Or is it simply the price that matters to you? Then the Sigma is a good choice, which I have already used for various portraits and also for a football match. Which Nikon are you talking about? The old 70-200 without VR or the new one with VR? The optical stabilisation on the Sigma hasn't always worked well for me and I've never tested that on the Nikons.
Sigma (and others) make very good lenses, sometimes better than the comparable Nikons. But what exactly is "better" is usually in the eye of the beholder.
