it was the spec report that did it in the end Jonathon ,they were virtually identical in most respects ,a little bit of give and take but not enough to justify losing a lot of dosh .
also my rig at the moment gives me 600mm at f6.3 the Nikon would be 500mm a t f5.6 ,and my sigma lens takes the 1.4 sigma t.c giving 840mm native at f9 and is virtually no different to the base lens .
the one real benefit is my original 80d cost me over a grand and was on the drip this ones got a 3 year u.k warranty is under £700 and bought for cash .no brainer really
Ah...if you have a native to hold it steady, no wonder it's as good as the base lens.
