Sigma 150-600mm F6.3 Sport-(at 320mm your F stop is at 5.6)

Sigma 150-600mm F6.3 C (at 387mm your F stop is at 5.6)

Sigma Prime 500mm F4.5 none OS APO DG HSM

Canon 500mm is/mark2 (too expensive for me)

Tamron 150-600mm F6.3 (380mm your F stop 5.6)

Canon Prime 400mm non is (very sharp)

Canon 300mm F4 (good lens close to the 400mm)

Canon 100-400 mark 1 (don’t like the idea of dust getting in)

Canon 100-400 mark 2 (seems very good quality closer to 370mm)

 

Maybe I have asked this but still can't make my mind up. I can buy the sigma 500mm F4.5 in good nick for £1500 some would say considering a canon one would cost at least double its a good deal. I am also considering the canon 100-400 mk2 for a simular amount of money. What  you get clearly its f4.5 vs f5.6. I guess pros use the 500mm for a reason any advise here i just cant seem to make my mind up.

Kudos to the first person I have seen ask the same question  3 times on this forum. If you don't like the opinions/answers you received then maybe you already have an answer in your head you are just waiting for someone to echo for you. 

 

Go with that voice in your head.

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
