hey,

i'm just starting out in sports photography. in particular football (http://jameschristie28.wix.com/football). Currently shooting with a Canon 6D and 70-200mm F4. i'm considering upgrading the lens to something with a bigger reach.

so what should i go for? currently looking at -

Sigma 50-500 OS

Sigma 150-600

a used Canon 100-400 mki (not sure about the push/pull zoom, never tried it)

any thoughts greatly appreciated

for field sports like football (daytime) go with either version of the Canon 100-400

Canon 60D with 100-400 original v1
