I have had difficulty choosing a lens both based on finance and the various lenses available to me at around 1000 to 1600.
From my research I found these five to be the best candidates
-Tamron 200-500mm
-Sigma 150-500mm
-Sigma 50-500mm
-Canon 100-400mm
-Canon 400mm prime
But I feel the prime would be the best choice because it is the lightest, simplest, and the image quality seems to rival that of much more expensive lenses with practice. The runner-up is the Sigma 50-500mm and I'm not entirely sure if the versatility's of the lens is worth the extra weight and loss in image quality.
Basically I'm looking for a lens where I could walk around all day with it and capture birds either in flight or high up in trees. (Mostly high up in the trees).
I would appreciate it, if anyone can post their thoughts, comments, ideas, or views regarding my thinking and choices. I'm not an expert and I'm willing to hear anyone out.
I greatly thank you for your time!
