Ive googled like crazy and cant find an absolute answer. I found a kenko compatibility pdf form http://www.kenkoglobal.com/pdf/TELEPLUS_DGX_series_CompatibilityList.pdf , and has a warning that kenko tel could stuff up the camera or lens if put on the wrong/ non adaptable lens( tammy or siggy). But I have come across posts with people using it with other siggys just not the 105 macro siggy. I have come across one post with someone saying it stuffed up 2 of his cameras ( focusing issues I think ).
reason Im looking at the Kenko is that it will fit my (future) Nikon 70-200 f4 as well.

Cheers
Glenn

Kenko??? I have enough trouble figuring this out with a Sigma converter for all my Sigma lenses!!!
Do a Google search on "Sigma 105 and kenko teleconverters" and you get 1000 other answers.

Certainly, there is a minor issue when using BOTH Sigma conponents, as seen here: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/teleconverter-compatibility

Can you take your lens to a store and try (gently) to attach it?

Let us know how you go.

I use a Kenko 2X converter on my Sigma 150mm Macro lens on my Canon, but I guess that isn't very helpful.

The Kenko converters seem to have a deeper "hole" on the lens side, so they accept more lenses than some other converters.
Best thing is try one on at a shop.
