I'm curious, have you tried the Sigma 500mm f/4? I have seen some tests that say it is actually sharper then the current Nikon which is supposed to be sharper than the Canon mk2.

No I haven’t tried it personally but have looked at a lot of images taken with it. The canon IQ seemed better in terms of contrast and fringing. That runs a bit counter to what dxo observed. The trick is to see how the two will perform side by side especially with a tc. And I haven’t seen such comparisons.  According to dxo the Sigma is slightly sharper on cameras such as the 5dmkiv.
