Comparing Teleconverters


I have a Minolta Maxxum and want to get a teleconverter for my 50-500 mm Sigma lense. My question is should I get the Sigma EX APO for Minolta AF 2x teleconverter for around $180 or is the much cheaper Quantaray 2X teleconverter just as good for $80?

I was told Sigma made Quantaray by the Ritz but I'm not sold that it's the same. My guess is that I should stick with the Sigma.

Thanks,
John

  I would stick with the Sigma. Even if Sigma does make the Quantaray converter, it does not mean it is made to the same standards.

  That's is my thought exactly, but I thought maybe someone had more insight.
