New Sigzilla 150-600mm Sport (Page 8): Thanks! Any ideal on ETA of the 150 600? So two different Nikon mount lenses (24-105 and the 150-600) will work with the same dock?

High demand has forced them into pre-order status everywhere at the moment, once they became available it was immediately seen how good they were and orders sky-rocketed.
The USB Docks work for specific mounts so if you have Nikon and Canon gear, you will need two docks, one for each mount type.

I hope that your Sigma is as good (if not better) than my Tamron 150-600 on my Canons.... I got some really Great eagle and other wildlife shots with mine.... I have had mine since Feb. 12th 2014... Great bit of "glass". I bought mine from my local camera shop (SCHILLER'S Camera in Saint Louis, Missouri). I did not have to wait very long at all.

I think that they can do Mail Order as well :-)

You were lucky. I have two customers that have been on the "wait" list for their Tamrons for months, one since April and one since May.

What body are you using yours on? I assume the focus is fast if you are getting Eagles.

YES very fast and when getting Flight Shots (Al Servo) the focus is On Track and working very well...

AND too... When shooting a bird in the branches of a tree it is Very discrimative as to where your point of focus is... ((I use the middle dot when doing this.)) It WILL focus right on what You are pointing to... You Must have a good support system... However I have had really good image captures Hand Holding.

I use the Canon System = i.e. - Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 7D.

I was the First photographer in the Saint Louis , Missouri area to get my hands on this fine lens....

UPS just brought this "little" jem today. It's cold and real windy in Chicago today but here are a few shots anyway. None have been retouched.

Thanks Don, that's what I was looking for.
