where you live and what mount? why don't you simply go to a shop and try it out?
the sigma 50-500 has no complaints other than weight, so join a gym loh.. in anycase, you can mitigate the weight issue by making sure all your other equipment are light 8) (like cf tripods and magnesium ballheads etc).. |

Just to share...... I checked with CP the other day and they said they have the 50-500 lens at their PP shop. I am interested in testing it out too, but just don't have the time yet.
[They also have the Canon 400/2.8 lens there, while the 300/f2.8 lens is at their Marina shop.] |

The weight is indeed a problem.. but it takes time to get used to it. If u can handheld a bigma, u can handheld any other lenses in the world liao...
If nikon mount, u are most welcome to try mine.
