p.1 #1 · Sigma 150-500 OS

O.K. Amazon say that they have this lens available for US$979.00. Has anyone got one yet and if so what is the verdict? I got an email from a local shop(very reputable dealer) here in South Africa yesterday that the lens will be available here at the end of April for US$812.00. I find this strange as normally the prices here are MUCH higher. (Canon 100-400L IS US$2000.00). I generally believe that you get that you pay for and very much doubt that that we could be lucky enough to get a lens as good as the Canon 100-400 L IS for less than half the price. In the past I have had the Bigma 50-500 and sold it because of no OS/IS and the Canon 100-400 L IS and missed the extra range of the Bigma. The new Sigma may be just what I am looking for if the IQ is really good.

Sigma will first ship a Canon model, the Nikon model will follow about a month later. MSP according to the German Sigma site is 899 euro for the 120-400 and 1099 euro for the 150-500.
