    Very nice, how does this fair against your other 3 medium to long sigma zooms? Do you think you will trim down and sell any of the other lenses now that you added a 4th that overlaps in similar focal ranges?

    OF COURSE NOT as otherwise my Cameras would be lonely! I sold already the SIGMA ZOOM 100-400mm & the 50-500mm so left is now a SIGMA 150-500mm & the new 150-600mm. I did actually bought in Germany a CANON zoom lens up to 300mm but with 2 IS stages where as I had on without & one with 1 stage so NEEDED that one!!! No I use my lenses all the time on 4 Cameras so I'm good.

    grats on the new lens, its great on the moon and half decent on jupiter and saturn, for me its a tripod lens, i can manage to hand hold it for a while but shooting a 600mm when you fill the frame with something i find it hard to keep it in frame
    for hand holding and walk around i still use my 100-400mm and use the big girl for when i set up for a while

    Did you get the contemporary or Sports lens? I have both & love the results.

    Well, for me it was just the first one as I would have no need for the Sport Lens anymore as I'm 70 now & not running around any longer. Would have been nice many years ago when I had the CANON F1 or my EOS 1D Cameras, and did all the Car Racing scene when I was doing the mechanical Race work here in New Zealand for people like F1 Champion Denny Holm (NZ) & Sterling Moos(GB) at the old time Benson & Hedges long distance Races. These days just for looking at Birds (the once with the Feathers!). rgs Roland

    I completely understand. I use both and the Sports lens is hard to use without a tripod. The contemporary lens is much easier. I actually took both of them out on New Years day to shoot Sandhill Cranes.
