I am kinda torn between two lenses that serve kinda different purposes.
I have around $1000 to spend, and want to decide between the : Sigma 150-500....And Canon 70-200 F4L IS
I am a hobbiest, kinda not very experienced. I shoot mostly landscaping and wild life. As well as my kids soccer and basketball games.
I currently have the EF-S 18-200 (which I think is a really good walk around lens)
I have the Canon 10-22 Which serves great for wide angle landscaping.
I have a 70-300 USM IS and it's a really good copy (I think)
And I recently bought a good copy of Sigma 170-500 (but it made me realize the importance of IS)
I have two TC: The Kenko pro 1.4X, and Tamron MC7 2X.
So how would you spend this $1000? should I go for the very high reputation 70-200 f4 IS for an L glass, with probably better picture quality than my 70-300 USM IS. (And maybe use a TC to get wild life shots)....I can get a lightly used one with UV and CP filters for $900
Or go for the longer range NEW 150-500 Sigma and get the benifit of the IS (which I miss on my 170-500 ) ?
Thanks in advance for your input and help
