The Sigma 150-500

alfiemooon · 2010-03-16T23:52:57+0000

I went down to LCE (Bristol) and ordered a Sigma 150-500 the other week and all seemed well till today when I checked my telephone messages. As Tom at LCE explained in his message,in the shop he demonstrated a Sigma 150-500 on a Canon as he didn`t have a K mount at the time.The Sigma that he used has Image Stabilisation.Apparently,the Sigma with the K mount doesn`t have 'IS' although as we all know,both my K10D and K20D have 'Anti Shake'. The dilemma I have now is that apparently Sigma are about to announce (in the next few months)a 150-500 with a K mount with 'IS'. So,am I going to gain from both IS systems or are they going to conflict each other? Nic

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing something like that - may main worry is making sure that the lens gets delivered to me in the states before the launch - the timing is slightly tight. I've a bit of time, so will look at my options over the next few days.

Thanks for the suggestions.
