I tried it out when it first came out but didn’t find much to sway me at the time. The autofocus is better and I must admit it may become an addition in the future but for now I went with the Canon 100-400 mainly due to the autofocus speed and accuracy \O

Yip Pete that Canon MKII is a great improvement over the soft at long end MkI canon 100-400 ..Pity it doesnt come out with a Nikon Mount but having said that I used to shoot crop Factor Nikon D500 with Nikons version of the Canon 100-400 namely the 80-400 and that gave me 600mm essential for Mt Zebra and Kgalagadi etc but now I am back on Full Frame D850 and the Tamron G2 150-600mm gets me there X#X

Okie you should have bought it at R16 K they are now over R19 K still a STEAL compared to the Nikon 200-400 F4 @ R 170 000 :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hmmm..... ag man , it's just money ;-) . But , at my age , I'm afraid the return on investment for that Nikon lens is not worth it lol lol

But , the Tamron is still a temptation , if just for the weight :-) And the additional reach is another bonus .....

Anyone wants to buy my Bigma 50 - 500 ??

I see that Sigma has also brought out a 150-600mm lens. It is at Macro for R12,000-00.


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.
