[QUOTE="jay_dean, post: 385260, member: 34040"] Dependent on your budget, the Sigma 50-500mm is the cheapest option, try and find the OS version if you're going for this one. The Siggy and Tammy 150-600's are newer and more expensive, and i'd expect (tho i've never owned one) better, especially at 500mm. If you're hand holding at 500-600mm, you'll have to shoot at at least 1/800-1/1250 to help with shake, add to the fact that you need to step down to around f/8 to get the best out of these lenses, leaves you in a situation where your camera body could be struggling for light at times(outside on a bright day you'll be okay). Thus, as mentioned before, you could probably do with a camera body that will handle higher ISOs better Tripods and monopods are great at their job, and do help prevent blur, but are no fun to lug around on walks or hikes [/QUOTE]
