After reading another thread on here tonight regarding the Sigma 120-300 vs Canon 300 f4, it got me thinking. Didnt want to hijack that tread with my own questions so started another. I already have a Canon 35-350L with 1.4x which does in theory cover this range, however it is slow 3.5-5.6 (6.3 with tc) and it is very hard getting a sharp image with it at times in low light conditions (winter days!)
It might just be the general light levels around at this time of year but I do find myself wanting a faster lens a lot of the time so I have been wishing for a 300L 2.8 but concerned how I will get on with a prime.
My subjects are sport (mx, bike and car track action, air shows) and now wildlife. So I need a versatile lens for this and preferably not lots of lenses that I need to keep changing and buying :bang:
After reading this thread I did a little research on the 120-300 and it does come with some favourable end user reviews Some negative comments on the AF speed and accuracy in lower light though.
I have been put off Sigma's in the past buy owning a 135-400 and a 10-20 both of which went back for being soft So do I try again?
The versatility of this lens appeals, fast 300 zoom for sport, quick 420 zoom with 1.4tc and good 600 with 2x for wildlife Is this too good to be true?? It really does sound like the lens I have been looking for to cover the majority of my subject interests
