Hi all, I'm new to this forum and need help to complete my purchase of a lens I will use for wildlife, birds and motorsports.
I have come down to the three in the title, and I am afraid of not having a zoom lens but the 300/f4 seems like such a nice lens, with a TC as well. The Sigma have gotten great reviews and I've looked on both Flickr and 500px for pictures and I am impressed by how sharp it is. If they weren't sharp it might be user fault so can't really make a decision on that.
Then there's the 100-400 which is the most expensive one and it also have good reviews, but alot of people complain it's soft at 400 wide open and needs to be stopped down to around f/8. Could be bad copies, could be user fault or could be that it's actually soft on some batches, I've read after 2007 or 2008 Canon fixed something on this lens.
My camera is a Canon 60D.
What do you guys suggest? Please post upon your experiences, I don't want to read posts where people say "well the canon should be better than the sigma" when they haven't tried the Sigma.
Thanks.
