I have been looking at 3 lenses the Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM, Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM and the Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 RF DG OS. Any advice on which is best if any would be most appreciated, also if you have a better lens in mind please let me know and any lens I get will need to be compatible with the higher range of canon cameras as I already find I want a few more advanced features that the 400D is lacking in. |
I would recommend saving a bit more hard earned cash and going for the Canon EF 100-400mm L f4.5-5.6 IS, probably the best all round sports and wildlife lens and no doubt the most popular and affordable. Look on it as an ivestment they hold their price very well.
