Thanks Sprocky $\O$ Very interesting, please update if you find any comparisons to the Sigma 150-500mm

I saw another comparison between the Tameron, Canon 100-400, Sigma 50-500 and another lens. Will have to find the link again, but it is on par with the Canon and kicks all the other lenses butts. $\O$

On other photo forums everyone is raving about it. Current price in SA is R14,000.

Anyone has or has used a Sigma APO 500mm f/4.5???
Being offered a new one at a very good price and thinking about it.

I had been waiting on a new version of Canon's 100-400 F4, but seeing as rumours of a new version have been kicking around for a few years now with nothing materialising I went for the new Tamron 150-600 (which probably means the Canon will be launched next month

). It's quite a beast of a lens, but a few initial tests with it are extremely encouraging! $O/\$ $O/\$

Can't wait to test it out on one of my next visits to Addo $\O$

Please let us know PJL, I'm seriously thinking about trading in my Bigma for one of those!

The reviews I've seen have all been very good.

I see that lens is going for just over R12k at the moment.
