After reading all the comments, and a lot more reviews on the internet, my final decision has been made. I purchased a Canon 100-400 II. The reasons behind it: - If I want to have more range, I could add a (used) 1.4 Extender III to the set, giving me more flexibility. It would limit the 100-400 to ...
Thanks Thijs.
If I compare the Sigma lens to the 100-400 II on that site (using the same camera) it scares me a lot. The difference appears to be huge. Leaning more and more to the Canon lens.
You don't make it easier for me by adding another option Herky :), but it is appreciated, because I didn't even look at that one! Price seems closer to the price of a used, but well maintained, 100-400 currently. But the weight is a thing with the sport lenses from Sigma in my opinion. The 60-600S w...
Sigma 150-600 is ok. But suffers from vignetting on the high end of zoom and quite soft beyond 500mm I also have a Sigma 100 - 400 which is better then my 150 - 600 I must say.

I have the first one, the Canon 100-400L mark II, and am very pleased with it! Can't compare with the Sigma though. Thanks for the reply Patrick. I have found a way to repair the 100-400 for now, but I think it will stop working permanently in the very near future. Found some affordable options for...
Thank you guys.. They needed some post processing though! That looks familiar Jan ;) Nice shots! Indeed we had planned this already in the beginning of March and last time when i saw your very nice set we knew it was a good decision to go :D The unicorn by the way was only flying on Monday morning,...
My (very) old Canon 100-400L Mk1 is starting to have problems with the zoom getting stuck. A well known problem for the lens, and it usually means game over for it. So, I am looking for a replacement to use with my 90D. I am tempted to go for a used Canon 100-400L II, or switch to a (new) Sigma 150-...
List updated with input. Thanks!! If someone can help with the identities of the ex-RoKAF Hawks at Lakenheath: thanks in advance. Can you please add the 9th A-4N at Nordholz to the list?
