[QUOTE="hark, post: 679510, member: 13196"] I don't have one of the telephoto zoom lenses like the Sigma, but generally a zoom isn't quite as sharp when it's zoomed all the way out. Usually they work better when pulled back a little--like 580mm rather than all the way out at 600mm. My guess is the prime will be a little sharper, but there would be quite a bit of weight to a 500mm or 600mm prime. Have you considered a 300mm with a teleconverter? [/QUOTE]
