Should I sell my Sigma F2.8 70-200 & Sigma 150-500 f5.6 for this beast New Sigma 120-300mm? I will really miss the f2.8 70-200 if I do it. What do you guys think?

If you'll miss the 70-200 f2.8 then why sell it to get the 120-300?

The question is, is it a better lens for your needs? Do you normally shoot below 120mm or above 300mm? If you do then I know I wouldn't do it.

I have a Nikon version of the 120-300mm DG F/2.8. Its a very nice lens, and takes really nice pictures. However, since its F/2.8, its quite the beast! Definitely worth the weight though. With a 2x converter and the crop factor of your T2i you will be shooting 900mm at F5.6. Pretty nice reach.

Actually, I shoot more at 300-400 when shooting surfing events. I was thinking of buying a TC 1.4 or 2.0 for the 120-300. 200 is way too short for this..so I'm using the 150-500 which is pretty slow.
