Sigma 120-400 vs 50-500 ... any thoughts please?!

Seems like a bit of an open ended question to me, you have given no specifics for uses, and what you'll likely be shooting etc.

Another option the 150-500 - god discussion here http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/sigma-150-500-opinions.543378/

Or the 120-300 F2.8 ?

Excellent, enjoy your new lens

Hope the bread and water isn't too bad - but will be worth it
