My LBA have been at bay, alas I feel the urge for a long AF zoom.
The obvious choice would be a Sigma 50-500 (or the 150-500), but the 2kg bulk is not appealing.
Actually per kg the price is quite affordable
.
Another one would be the Tokina 80-400, but my local "Eric" who sells old legacy lenses, told me to watch out for the delicate circuitry since spares are not available. He recommended the Sigma "if I can live with the quality", and that it would be well worth $200 more used than the Tokina, whose optics "were good".
I responded by telling that both the price and availability of the FA*250-600 was beyond me. He smiled knowingly.
Is there anything else than the DA55-300 or the FA80-320 worth considering? My F70-210 is too short.
Seb.
