Otherwise I would be too tempted B) sounds good, man! Hope to get a quick shout if you did a comparison to the 500/4, just to get the idea...
Yeah I will do that comparison, the real difference is one of aperture thouigh, the the 500mm F4 is sharp wide open, the G2 at 600mm @ F6.3 is still not there, I'll try F7.1 today though, I have yet to fine tune a little, the sun's out this morning.
With the arca foot removed it weighs 1.904 Kgs (4lbs 3 ozs)....it's just not that heavy.....compared to the Sport which weighs in at 3.1 Kgs without the base of the tripod foot, a whole bunch of the weight is that monster front element (105mm) so the balance isn't good either.
My guess is that Sigma will come out with a MkII Sport model where the sharpness will justify that extra weight!
BTW. There's still not a single test site out there at the moment that has reviewed all the "big five" ( [150-600mm] the two Sigmas and the two Tamrons+ the AF-S 200-500mm Nikor) The forums are alive for a lens testing site to do a comparison "big five" test.
A test of the three missing lenses would be sweet...
I know Klaus is cringing here :wacko: no problems Klaus...just delegate.....Marcus where are you?
