I disagree with your selective observation that I have dismissed everything you said. I did not. I agreed with you that the Sigma 400APO MAC was a fine lens or at least optically not bad. It served me well when I shot with film, but it is an old lens which is no longer made by Sigma and some are not chipped for digital cameras.  I did not consider it suitable for birds in flight or focusing on moving targets . I gave the lens away to a good friend. If I do not agree with you entirely I see no reason for you to assume any more than the fact that I simply disagree. Your shot by the way is superb.I agreed with you that one has to make financial considerations .I agreed with you that the Nikon 300f4 seems to be a superb lens worthy of consideration. My reference to "fanboys"  was placed in a seperate paragraph where I made a general statement of a kind I have made before . It is regrettable that that paragraph referred to the Nikon 300f4 which is probably the reason you are making the link and drawing the wrong conclusion, but I can assure you that I was NOT having a go at you. You might also note that I still use Sigma lenses:t:I was not aware that Nikon made a 400f5.6 lens.If you do not accept what I have said then we will just have to agree to disagree, and that I would regret. I hope this matter can be laid to rest.Regards Adrian</blockquote>
