It's big and chunky, but what a lens. for the money... (Canon 500 f4= a fortune).
One remark thou: Use liveview and magnification to get the focus tack on otherwise you will get bad results.
Almost in focus: CA and of course blur
In focus: almost no CA and sharp.
I also have a Sigma 150-500/5-6,3 HSM DG APO OS, the old Takumar is nearly as sharp and have better colors.
And you need the bigest and heaviest tripod you can get your hands on.
Forget about the usual lightweight ones, think "concreate and metal" and a head that can take it.
3500grams!
Taken from a distance of 435m, then cropped. Link to full size image bellow.
I think it's sharp enough...
