Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading, but not sure if I should upgrade my Canon 40d or my Sigma APO DG 70-300. Budget £300-400ish.
Any suggestions please??
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
I would say lens, not sure what you are after, I swear by MPB, see banner on this page, excellent second user gear, good prices.
Good hunting.

The better the glass the better the image, how about a Canon L 70-200mm F4? should get that for your price range and a great lens too

I would go for the lens change/upgrade option. What about a Sigma APO DG OS 100 - 500 mm. It will be the top end of your budget, but I got one a few months ago and I Looooooorve it lol.
Cheers

I did see a 100-400 (Canon us ism etc) for around £400 either on here or our sister site (Civilian aviation) the other day, pretty much the perfect lens for aviation.

Someone once said to me that if you glass isn't worth significantly more than your camera body that you are doing it wrong....

Mmmm sounds good. I see the 150-500 is not much more, but I have not heard about the quality of them.

Paul,
If you want to have a look at the 120-40 drop me a pm, more than welcome to have a look at it.
(currently can't take photos with it due to having surgery yesterday on left wrist)
