Thanks very much for your comments guys, really appreciated
I had read a on a few posts that the bigma didn't perform quite so well at full zoom and a few people struggled with lack of light, then again there are some excellent shots out there taken with the bigma and it gets a lot of praise on the whole.
Bigma it is then
P.S. all my bad shots are down to me and not the equipment anyway
hope to get there one day though
