But instead I went for a 300mm prime lens which always seem to get very good reviews for sharpness. Hopefully I have made the right choice, but have not had much time to test this lens.

I will look forward to hearing other peoples comments on these Sigma long lens.

THanks Barry, yes i have heard the same about the softness at the far end, but like you, i seen some awsome pictures as well, id love to be able to get the 500mm prime but thats out of the question at the moment, the 300mm prime is a superb lense, but i would like a little more reach for the wildlife.
