Is this the same Sigma 50-500mm lens as before? It reminds me from the look and the colours of my 70-300 DG apo very much. Its a lens I find very infuriating because it tends to wander as to what its focusing on and sometimes takes a long time to get focused too, but it can also produce some very sweet images as well, just when I despair of it, so I still use it. How do you find your 50-500mm is it anything like that? |

No it doesn't do that. Actually for such a long zoom it focuses very quickly and is easy to get a focus and hold it even when the birds are in amongst the limbs. Doesn't hunt a lot till f/11 or above on dim days.
