[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 733182, member: 46724"] I don't have either but I do have the 150-600 Sigma (C). It has a pretty specific use- when I cant use my other lenses to get that far, used 99% of the time for birds. Its heavier than any of my other lenses so I only take it when I plan to shoot long. Having the flexibility of 60-600 is tempting, but personally I would find it too heavy to carry around for anything other than the long end. The only reason I would look into the 60-600 is if I did not have (or didn't want) the option to swap lenses. What is your experience with the 50-500? Do you find the weight is limiting on when or how you use the lens? I must say that I am impressed with the IQ of both Sigma lenses I have. Both are zooms and both have been fine tuned with the USB dock at 4 different focal lengths at 4 different distances (16 adjustments). The 200-500 can only be generally fine tuned in camera. Many times, if tuning for the long end, the short end suffers and vise versa. Although in camera fine tune works fine for primes, zooms benefit a bit more with the flexibility provided by the docks from Sigma and Tamron. Plus, always having the ability to upgrade firmware through the dock beats sending the lens into the factory for an upgrade. [/QUOTE]
