New sigma lens

[Tintype_18]

Received an email which included a review of a Sigma 60-600mm. I didn't look at the details as I'm up to my eyebrows in alligators today. Far from an expert but wouldn't the low end give more versatility for this lens?

To some degree, yes, though quality might suffer at the low end, too. Do you really want to be lugging around  a 600 mm lens that is barely hand-holdable when you want a 60mm lens?

Good point- game, set and match. Would it be worth having one lens or having two lenses: one for the lower end and higher quality and one for the distant subjects? I have the 150-600mm and it has been a big help. Many muscles have developed, carrying it and the tripod. I opt for two lenses myself. FWIW, wife and I were in Bass Pro Shops; she found a nice vest that will double as my photo vest...and it was on sale! KV, thanks for your thoughts.
