any feedback on either would be gratefully received.Is the extra reach of the Sigma worth sacrificing for maybe the better Canon lens quality

No... not with the Sigma just the Canon 100-400 allthough I would recommend looking here,Oscar01 wrote:Hi,
About to buy a Canon 50D, but still doubting which lens to buy. Either the canon 100-400, or the sigma 120-400.
I know, you probably will say that I cannot compare them, but for me I am. But price of the canon is double the prise for the sigma, but I doubt if the difference is that big....
Anybody experience with that sigma lens?

Cool, let us know how you did, don't forget to test autofocus responsetime and watch the dark cornersOscar01 wrote:Thanks for the pages, interesting to read. We have an appointment tomorrow to test both lenses with the 50D.

You don't need that with the 50-500, low shutterspeed will also do the trick. You just have the learn to handle it, just trying it out isn't enough to get an feel for the lens I think. And that mega stiff zoom ring, think that was an issue of that particular lens, cause mine lens doesn't has an stiff zoom ring.The zoom ring was mega stiff and without IS you really need high shutterspeeds
