    Hi Pops - you have the 50-500 Bigma? I had a chance to use one of these for the first time at the weekend and I was quite impressed. I'd heard some mixed reports about the AF, but the HSM seemed to work pretty well for me. Here's an example (420mm f/7.1, 1/640th, ISO 400):

      No Ian I don't have the 50-500 Bigma.
      I use the Canon 100-400 L USM for all my birdie shots.

      Your example looks fine to me, like the dof
      If you know of a Bigma going free I would give it a try
