I'm looking at purchasing a zoom lens for my 700d, the subjects to be photographed will mostly be sporting and birds, with the occasional moon shot if possible. I'm curious to know what lenses other uses have and are happy with. My budget is around the $1200 mark and the popular choices seem to be the sigma 150-600mm and the Tamron equivalent. Any personal pros and cons on these would be great.

For sports you're going to want as fast a lens as you can afford.

For birds as long a lens as you can afford.

Can't combine the two at that price point, so you'll have to choose.
