I am currently shooting with Canon 50D (15MP, 1.6x crop) and Canon 5DMkII (21MP, full frame). My spotting lens is the Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS USM.
Sigma has recently updated their 120-300mm f/2.8 and it looks just spectacular. However, it costs $3,600, and I'm concerned about losing the extra reach at the long end (I would sell or trade in my 100-400 to make up some of the cost).
Would I be at a total loss at JFK without the 300-400 range? Remember that, on my 50D, the Sigma would be a 192-480mm "equivalent" (Manny, I won't get you started on that discussion...haha). I know I'd be fine at the mounds, at Panera, and at "the spot we don't mention where security is annoying". But would Bayswater and HoBe leave me begging for extra reach?
Any other thoughts?
Anybody have experience with this lens?
Thanks,
Antonis (I'm going to stop signing my posts "TIS" since you all know me by now...)
