Picked up a Sigma 150-500 on the way home tonight and have been out round the block and down the wood for a play, and i love it!
To cut a long story short,iwent to a Bird of Prey photography tuition day on Sunday and had a fantastic time,during lunch i was talking to one of the guys running it and talking about what kit we had,( i was using a 55-300 Nikion lense on my D5100 and got some reasonable shots) he said that he had just bought himself a Nikon 500 F4 and that he was going to sell a couple of lenses to get abit of money back,i asked what he was selling and he said he had a Sigma 150-500,now i hav'nt got the sort of funds to go out and spend a grand on a lense but when he said he would sell it for £450 my eyes lit up and i considered selling a kidney or something,cut a long story short went home begged the missus and she told me to go get it,went tonight and as soon as i got there i knew it was going to be a good one as hewas the sort of guy who looks after his equipment,got everything Case ,straps paper work,box and the lense all like new for £430,never though i would be able to get my hands on a lense like that it the near future,i am like a dog with two doodahs.
P.S Also got to play with the 500 F4 in his garden but not the sort of thing you want to be handholding,can't wait till he wants to sell that one LOL
