120-400 or the 150-500 Sigma

[DL38]

Hello
How does the autofocus 500mm = f6.3 ?
(Does it work well over f5.6)

It focusses normally as it tells the camera its at F5.6 by some kind of electrickery.

Ive got the 120-400 for Nikon, and it's not a bad lens, i find it nice at 400mm and think its more shooting style than anything.
That said, I'm considering selling it, because well, I don't use it all that often, being mostly a landscaper.

Mongo researched both the 120-400 and the 150-500 but ultimately purchased another lens.
However, from his research, he can say that of the two lenses , the 150-500 is probably the better one of the two.

Sorry new to the site so hopefully not repeating.

I use the Sigma 50-500 on a Canon 40D in SA for Surfing, cricket and football (Aussie).

Absolutely love it but have to admit I cant afford the L glass.

Biggest issue I have besides the weight is the sealing as the lens extends out, now notice foreign objects inside the assembly
