[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 355263, member: 9240"] I suspect what you're paying for with the Sports model is the build quality... [URL="http://sigma-rumors.com/2014/09/videos-sigma-150-600mm-f5-6-3-sports-in-harsh-conditions/"]Videos: Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sports in Harsh Conditions[/URL] ...though I would have loved to have seen this test run with the zoom fully extended. Everything comes at a price and I have no idea what bringing it to f4 would have done to it, but the last thing you want to do is build a big, heavy 150-600mm that's f/4-6.3, have it come in at $2500, and then have people say "Hell, I'll just get the 120-300mm f/2.8 and a TC for a grand more and be ahead of the game. I think this was a direct response to the Tamron offering and then taking it up a notch to pro build quality. As for the 3 AF Speed Modes on the Sports line, I'm guessing it's a feel thing with each mode coming at a cost to accuracy? Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything specific about them anywhere.
