But how do these Sigma lenses perform on a FF camera? I haven't found a proper test yet.
And the old Sigma 400/5.6 doesn't work on the 5D I or 40D. I had a Sigma 400/4.6 APO macro with the same problem. I rather not buy equipment abroad and the lenses that come up for sale in the Netherlands are too far for me to go to and most sellers of these lenses don't want to send the stuff, so you have to visit them.
Best wishes,
Reinier

Like I mentioned before, the only 2 lenses that fit the bill are the Sigma 120-400mm OS and 150-500mm OS. And of course the older 80-400mm OS.
Any second hand lens is hard to get in the Netherlands.... so it makes little sense to advice on gems from the past, like a Sigma 400mm f5.6.
The best prime still is the Canon 400mm f5.6 L USM, but cheapest I can locate it is 1096 euros. And that is from an online electronics store (simplyelectronics).
