Hello, 九歪 C-Hing,
Are you using the new Sigma Sports lens?
In your opinions, what are the pros and cons in using this lens to take photos of birds?

Yes, I am using S120~300/2.8 Sports for about two years, I try here, to make my impression in using the lens below ~~~

Pros :

Producing very sharp and excellent images quality throughout the zoom range even using 2x Sigma new tele-converter (Sigma tele-converter TC-2001 seems better than Nikon TC-20E III in sharpness & contrast to me).

Auto-focusing very fast and acceptable focusing speed with 2x tele-converter, TC-2001.

Providing very good optical stabilization

Performing very good Bokeh.

Having well build body, as solid as a tank.

Offering very good price, good value for money.

Providing owner to update firmware, calibrate the lens and other customizations with USB Dock.

Cons :

It is very heavy, I can just make a very few shots with handheld, better using monopod at least.

It seems reluctant in focusing with 2x tele-converter upon back-lighted objects, I encounter the same situation with my Nikon 600/4.
