Lenses / Re: SIGMA APO 300mm F2.8 EX DG HSM

Thanks guys for the helpful posts.

TexPhoto, I've used the 300 IS I before, loved the IQ but its a bit of a beast.  The sigma looks a lot more compact, would you agree?

Lenses / SIGMA APO 300mm F2.8 EX DG HSM
« on: February 08, 2013, 06:21:42 AM »
Hi,

Has anyone got any experience of using this lens for field sports (with and without 1.4x and 2x converters)?    I'm considering it for use with my 5d Mark III.

What do you think of the lens compared with the Canon EF 300 F2.8L IS II USM? Would also be great to see any in-depth reviews from a sports shooting perspective if anyone has seen any.

Thanks
Nick

Dual CF cards for backup and peace of mind and to avoid the poor write performance issues of the 5d Mk III when shooting fast bursts with a CF and SD card.  Dual CF cards would be a definite plus.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Will the release of the 6D affect the 5D MkIII's price?

I bought my 5d mark III when it came out for £3K and don't regret it at all.  You will be getting a lot of camera for £2400 and that is a £600 discount from release price. How much do you want the price to reduce by?
