[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 607173, member: 14174"] I see it differently there are already two very popular lenses in that range Nikon 80-400 and the Canon 100-400,both sport a f5.6 max and price tags around £2000,f6.3 is no hardship with modern camera sensors and focusing ability so if that keeps the price,size and weight down that could be good. The pictures i have seen of it show no tripod mount and they say 67mm filter,all the signs of a fairly light lens,if you take the popularity of the 150-600 any other zoom sigma make that ends around 500mm is in my mind the wasted lens,my first long lens;) was a Sigma 120-400 so whilst 500/600 is nice i know 400 is very useable. It just needs to be followed by a 100-400 f4 sport ;) [/QUOTE]
