It is possible on their newer lenses but they have to be making the lens already in the mount you want to change it to (so unfortunately you can change a 150-600mm from Canon to Nikon but not Pentax). Mind you they have recently nearly doubled the cost so you would be better off selling the Canon lens and buying a used Nikon.

I really like the 150-450mm but the 50-500mm means you can do the whole show with just one lens.

When I say mount change I mean from the old Pentax mount that scratches the K-1 to the new modified mount that has slightly more clearance. Not from day Canon to Pentax

Indeed ... if we had a "like" button I would press it.

If another HSM OS version came up I would be seriously tempted I think.

I can vouch for that!

Well it so happens it did .... and once it has been to Sigma for a K-1 mount change it will be winging it's way to me for a good workout on the K-1 at the Bournemouth air show.

Sorry for the slow reply Steve, I still have it, just can't decide whether I want to sell it now

I took one similar a few years ago at Yeovilton air show ... I can just about manage the 150-450mm all day or the Sigma 150-600mm Sport at a push but I would stand no chance with those things.

Autofocus on something using live view, if it is sharp then af probably needs fine tuning on the body (if your camera has it).

A Typhoon jet is a bit out of my price bracket though.
