I was thinking of getting the Sigma 150/600 sport but in the end I went for the 100/400 to pair it with my 7dmkII this gives me up to 640 f5.6 fov .
This is my first shot 1/200 f5.6 iso 800 taken at 400mm ( 640 fov ) it was in the shade and about a stop under exposed PP work done .

Good shot Gyrob. Seems just as the MTF charts suggest - as sharp wide open at 400mm as the venerable 400mm 5.6. How far away was your subject?

Good shot rob you will have to post some more shots when the weather picks up and try the 1.4 on it as well.

around 25ft and I think it is as sharp as the 400 f5.6 I use to have one.

2 shots here light was poor, 1 with ef 1.4mkIII tc 640mmfov and 400mm .
1/200 f5.6 and 1/200 f8 lifted a bit in PS both have the same sharpening
I never checked the AF speed with the tc seem good but is very quick without tc .

Iv only had the lens a day and a half so have not MA it yet but I do think its a super lens .
Hopefully we will get some light soon to try it properly but I just cant see it not been good from what iv tried so far..

Rob.

Looks pretty good, I must say.

Interesting. Its sharpest at 400mm when wide open.

Those who have tried the new 100-400 Mk2 - do they think the IQ at 400mm is equal to the 400/5.6 prime? Or even better?

How does the Mk2 at full zoom with x1.4TC compare with the 400/5.6 with x1.4TC?

If you only look at center, then yes, I'd say the 'stability' of quality of the old 400 is preferable, for consistency, I wouldn't mind IS though.
