Hi,
I got my sony alpha 500 a few weeks ago, picked up the tamron 70-300 with it on the jessops deal. since then i've picked up a 50mm F1.7 prime and a 35-70 mini beercan. had some super photo's from it, but want to try my hand at wildlife and birds so want something longer than a 300.
i've bee nscouring ebay and it seems sigma's are readily available, but what flavour do i go for and whats the right price ?
400 prime? or 135-400 or spend a wodge and try for a 500 ? i'm not looknig to spend more then £200 unless i reall wont get what i'm after.
i was originally planning to get a 70-210 beer can. are they really that good?
also would a proper teleconverter with my 300 do a better job than a 400 prime or zoom ?
thanks for any advice
