Really depends on what youre shoot mate, I have one and i really like it for my distance shots. Sometimes i have trouble finding a reason pulling it out, but overall....glad I bought it :th3:

great value for the bucks....... I have the 50-500mm Sigma and quite happy with the results..... there is a learning curve using long lens

I have one and am more than pleased with it See here (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?76291-RC-Chopper) and here (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?76584-A-walk-in-the-local-reserve-chapter-3). The value for money is excellent.

I have the Nikon mount version.
I dont use it every day, but when I do it justifys the cost (which wasnt all that painfull).
Whilst it works well handheld thanks to the anti vibration feature, I do get much better results when I use a Mono or Tripod.
