Hello, no I haven't had experience with that particular lens. Until you mentioned it I didn't realise they did one. However, on a Canon I have the Sigma 150-500 lens, same spec, I have had it 2 years now and I love it. I don't use it constantly because of hauling around at airports and stuff, but very good lenses , hope that is of some helpful indication for you.

Let us know if you get it and report on your findings.

Best regards

Thanks for the advice. In the end I went for m 4/3. I now have the Panasonic lumix G7. Am finding it a great camera so far. Just a small question as to telephoto lens at airshows, will 400mm be enough for airshows or will i be better of having something like 600mm?

I think a 400mm is usually quite adequate. Hope you enjoy the new kit.
