Sigma's Bigma vs. 80-400 os - Your thoughts?

Apr 2, 2005

I will be purchasing one of the two lenses in the very near future.

They both have their positives, of which I am well aware.

Bigma- Positives - More range, HSM, great image quality
Negatives - No OS - tougher to handhold, slightly larger size

80-400 OS- Positives - OS, excellent pic quality, slightly smaller size to work with, less need for a tripod when "trekking"
Negatives - No HSM, less range

I guess I'm just looking for your thoughts - Both positive and negative - on either lens.

Thanks for taking your time to respond!
