My son has started to join me on my Bird/Wildlife outings, he is in the process of getting some kit together. As i am a relative newcomer to the hobby i am not in a position to advise him on kit.
he is looking at the sigma range of lenses, namely the
Sigma 150 -500mm V Sigma 50 - 500mm both HSM OS versions. Apart from the zoom range difference, what else differs, and the million dollar question does the 50 - 500 warrant the extra cash. Most of his shooting will be between 200 and 500. OS or IS is important as he cannot get on with my 400L 5.6. If so i was going to let him have mine as i am upgrading very shortly.

Steve.
