Re: Good honest advice needed
I was also going to recommend the 400/5.6 over the 100-400, but that was before your comment that you use it for many types of photography. Although I believe the 400 has a slight IQ edge over the zoom, the 100-400 is no slouch either. One downside to some is the pump-action zoom, but that is a matter of personal taste. I have a Sigma 100-300/4 zoom that I bought at a reasonable price on e-bay and it is a decent lens, but doesn't come close to the Canon prime. I just wish I could afford the 500/4.

Of the lenses you listed the only one I have used is the 100-400. My first one was stolen but I liked it enough to purchase another one. The push-pull zoom has never been a problem and the lens is sharp. I don't think you could go wrong with the 100-400 but the other lenses will probably give you good results also. If you can compare the lenses on your camera and then decide which is best for you.

Re: Good honest advice needed
Thanks Guys, i am going to go with the sigma 150-500 as i feel it would suit me better now to get one rented, i have found somewhere that will rent it for 7 days £52 that will give me plenty of time to give it a hammering and decide whether to buy it or not. If i am not happy with it i am going to consider going down the 400 prime route.
