Very nice series, interesting to see as I am just thinking about purchasing this lens for my 30D.

I cannot imagine you will be dissapointed sue, I had a 100-400 before this but always had doubts about its sharpness and used it at 400mm most of the time, so the 400 prime seemed the logical solution .

Thinking about the 600mm f4 now..;) had a price off kerso just need to win the lottery now.

Did not see your second pic before, great pic of a Ruff. Rumours are of a 400mm prime with IS coming soon.

thanks cuddy

yes i have heard that , i wouldnt swap mine for one but if i could get a 400mm 2.8 for the same price i might consider it .

i am holding back to see what the iQ is like on the sigma 150 -500 os i could be tempted by that
