05Xrunner Goldmember, Flipflopper.  More info | Tony-S when you get it report the Fstop at the focal ranges. Unless that chart was directly from sigma I still am waiting for hard proof then. My gear

Unless that chart was directly from sigma I still am waiting for hard proof then. I'm surprised at that chart too. I don't see why it isn't like every other lens in its class (i.e., f5.6 at 400mm). I'll wait and see too.

I was just hoping that at 400mm it would still be f/5.6. LightRules wrote in post #5611734 The fact that the new lens is "only" 1/3 a stop slower but adds an extra 100mm is something in its favor. And you still get AF. 500mm f6.3 is a good, "low cost" way to go. ughhhhhh, I'm torn between the two Sigmas and stretching my budget for the Canon 100-400L. Maybe if someone just sent me $1300 for the Canon, I can put myself out of my misery

KayakPhotos Goldmember  More info | May 28, 2008 14:09 | #44 I'm really hoping for something good with this lens. It would pair great with my kit lens, so that I could get the 50mm f/1.8 and maybe a sigma 10-20mm super wide angle. That should do me in the short term atleast...We'll wait and see how the pictures turn out! Just a thought from Daniel

Tony-S Cream of the Crop 9,911 posts Likes: 209 Joined Jan 2006 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado, USA More info | OK, just a quickie. I just stopped the car and took this at 500mm f/7.1 with the OS on. I don't have time to do the testing properly as I have to get packed for Kenya. First is full-frame reduced to 800 px wide, second 100% crop of the presumptive focal point. No pp other than conversion to jpeg.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
