The 70-200f/2.8 with a 1.4xTC is more flexible than the Bigma's. I do have a 50-500. The 70-200 +TC is a LOT faster in use and you should pick up a Mk 1 version for reasonable money.
Best regards

Also, in saying that the Sigma has SDM you're missing the vital point: that Sigma's HSM doesn't have the crippling reliability concerns which sunk Pentax's SDM.

There are some really nice images.
Wonderful stuff.

If image is paramount then presumably Nikconland with a big white would be the go...and an oesteopath on the 27th
For sports coverage, look at the 70-200 f/2.8 Sigma with a 1.4xTC.
For long fast glass, weight will always be an issue.

How nice to think of summer approaching somewhere in the world with all those lovely colours...It's been grey and chilly pretty much all day today.
I'll be popping back for Xmas/New Year though, so I hope there's a shed load of snow!

It uses the same sensor as the istD and was the first DSLR to use in body IS. I'll find a FF Sony out there some where with my name on it.

When I was using a grip I had it setup to use the grip battery first, when this was depleted it would revert to the body battery, I would then remove the grip battery for replacement with a spare (if you have 3 batteries) or recharge it. Once replaced it would automatically revert back to the grip. This eliminates the need to remove the grip and replace the body battery.
You don't need to have the grip turned on until you are ready to utilise it, It will still power the body even when switched off.
