Having tested my Tamron 150-600 head-to-head against a Sigma Contemporary and found very little difference my next quandry is:
At 600mm - would the Sigma Sports give me better IQ (especially more resolution/contrast) than the Sigma Contemporary or Tamron?
People with the Sigma Sports (eg Jeff) are getting some great results, but I am struggling to find anyone who has been able to test the Sports v Contemporary head-to-head with same body, same target and same settings.
Can anyone help or advise?
I may be tempted to buy a Sigma Sports to test at home against my Tammy on the basis I could send the Sports back for a full refund if I find it no better, or only marginally better.
If the Sports is demonstrably better I would use the Sigma Sports for hide type situations and then for a walk-around birding lens either stick with my Tammy or my Canon 400/5.6 or maybe sell the Tammy and replace it with a Canon 100-400 Mk2.
