[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 221192, member: 14174"] There are three main line long zooms in the sigma range,120-400,150-500,50-500,the best is supposed to be the 50-500,next the 150-500 then mine 120-400.my decision was made on price and if i thought i would be able to hand hold even with optical stabilizing,ime happy with my decision the extra weight and focal length of the 500 would not have worked for me hand holding. To be honest i don't see a 300mm being long enough without some serious cropping or you getting very close,obviously it would be better than a 200 its just how much is guess work,there are some of the older long tamrons come up occasionally i think 200-500 but i have no idea if they are any good,they may not be auto-focus,tokina make a 80-400 but no VR on it.
