I'm watching and waiting. The 150-500 has a better reputation than the Tamron 200-500. The 50-500 has reportedly better optics than the 150-500 but, up till now, didn't have OS. Maybe this will make the bridge.
Hi Ian, thanks for the welcome by the way. Seems I Can't send PM's just yet.
I found a copy of What Digital Camera from June last year which ran a comparison test between the Sigma 150-500mm & the Tamron 200-500mm. The end result of that test was the Tamron scored 90% and the Sigma 84%. I actually placed an order for the Sigma 50-500mm on Jessops web page, but I recieved and e-mail from them today saying they cannot get any more stock of the 50-500mm therefore cancelled my order - which in turn led me to post my first post on here!!
I have never seen a review which placed that tamron over the sigma 50-500. Unless you're in a big hurry, I'd wait until the new sigma is out and some reviewers have their hands on it.
This might be good reading for you
