    The BigMa is loved by many. Don't have one but wanted one at one time.
    Good for birders on a tripod, I hear.
    Keep Shooting!

    the 300mm is not enough for you?! With the 2x teleconverter you have there, it should be more than enough for anyone I'd think.

    The 50 - 500 never left my camera for over a year... until I purchased the sigma 70 - 200 f2.8. Now I bounce back and forth between them depending what I am shooting.
