Is one stop gaining you anything? The weight difference may be a factor, depending on how long and what type of shooting you will be doing.

OT(ish) Sigma vs Tamron
Tamron wins on weight at 2/3 that of the Sigma
Sigma wins on lens speed at f-4 to 6.3 vice Tamron f-5 to 6.3 It really comes down to useage. Is one stop gaining you anything? The weight difference may be a factor, depending on how long and what type of shooting you will be doing. Thanks for that John, appreciate the feedback especially as I hadn't even begun to consider the weight angle - great point! Aviation use for me would be for flying shots and I would be using a monopod. This would be my first foray into DSLR with a longer lens having been using a Panasonic digital with quite appauling shutter lag... but that's another story altogether! Cheers...
