G'day mates!!
Just to symply ask you which one is the best to use with a 7D for birding?
In my opinion the 120-400 should be better because it opens at f/4.5-5.6.
This point should make the AF more accurate and a better work in low light situation.
Then of course, the 120-400 is lighter than the Bigma.
But the Bigma, despite a smaller aperture/less OS/more weight and price, as something more : it's 500mm reach...
As Im new into bird Photography, I dont know which one to choose, dont know if 400mm will be enough...
I will use everything mainly on a tripod, hiding under a ghillie poncho.
Could you give me your opinion and some advices please?
Thx!!
Andy
