Be careful though as some Amazon free shipping can take WEEKS! Check on that before you buy it.

Over the weekend I will test the Siggy against the 70-300IS with TC, this combination beat the Tokina 80-400 for sharpness so we will see how it fares. I need to re-do the 400 L shots too, don't understand they are so soft.

bagtagsell, your moon looks good but can you post a larger 100% crop. Stamp sized images don't really show much.

I wouldn't care because it would certainly be out of my price range so I'd still get the Sigy ;)

Hmmm, for $915, I might have to try this out at this point....

How's the weight handholding? I ended up getting the 100-400mm L, and it gets heavy on my arm holding it up for any length of time. The 150-500 is ~1 pound more, right?

you know whats funny. I use to have the bigma..same weight as the 150-500. I actually find the 100-400 seems to feel heavier using then my bigma because when you zoom you are stretching your arm out further and loose some stability it seems and support compared to when I held my bigma i wouldnt have to extend my arm further and felt like I had more stability and didnt feel like it was as much strain.

yeah, @100mm it's not too bad, but extending it out to 400 gets tough. I haven't had a chance to give the 100-400 a true workout in the field (it's been sitting in my backpack for almost two weeks :( ) due to some hot weather and just being busy. I'm going to try to go out tommorow to a little farm which has goats/chickens/donkeys​/foxes/etc... and give it a whirl (maybe I'll see a duck)

The 150-500 shots do look pretty good!

I assume you mean good looking women? :)
