Yes
My camera is mainly used for aviation photography....

presently looking to purchase one of the following...

Sigma 50-500mm DG HSM

or

Sigma 150-500mm DG APO HSM OS RF

Presently opting for the latter as it has more features...
but the first one has a better range

any advice would be appreciated

kind regards

Ben
 
hi ive just got the 150-500mm and it is superb the optical stabilisation works spot on but be aware it is a bulky item
 
just a thought ben ,you say you mainly use your camera for aircraft so i suppose you visit east midlands,fancy a bit of aircraft myself when time allows,can you recommend anywhere offsite at east midlands or are there plenty of spots nearby
 
Thanks for the info Guys :clap:

iwol... i visit East Mids fairly often... i usually spot from the mound on the Aeropark site...

The is a web site with all the locations... i 'll have a look to try and dig it out for you

I've got the Sigma 150-500 OS that's going on my 5D3 and I'll borrow the wifes Sigma 120-400 OS for my 60D when I go to the Waddington airshow. I borrowed a Canon 100-400 L from a guy at last years show and got some great shots so hopefully I should get some more this year. Both the Sigma's are really good wide open at the long end as well, which is a bonus. I live only a couple of miles from Waddington so I get plenty of practice beforehand. The 50-500 OS is supposed to be a tad sharper than the 150-500 but at almost twice the price, the 150-500 OS is a damn good substitute.
