I am not sure if you should bother with the Sigma. I had a lot of trouble with my Tamron 150-600 mm lens and I've heard of people who've had similar problems with Sigma. Issues with focussing and sharpness especially. And it's also really heavy. I've been able to get better pictures with the 100-400 than I was with the 150-600 mm Tamron which I've ultimately sold again.

I would recommend you try it out before you buy it. Maybe mine was just a bad model. But as I said, others have reported the same thing with Tamron and Sigma on Canon R cameras.

The camera has 24.5 megapixels. Even if I crop 50%, I still have nearly 13 megapixels left, I find that totally manageable as long as the photo's actually sharp. I won't be able to print gigantic posters or anything, but I don't want to do that anyway. It's mostly for social media and maybe some smaller prints here and there.

Glad to see you here in this community! Lovely photo and well spotted! Very well-camouflaged bird. Are these in Europe? Never seen one here in Germany.
