Sorry to keep saying it, I have had the 300 f4 and wish I never sold it mine was good all the way from wide open! My self and my son bought every a-mount minolta we could find when I got back into photography and tested them, non of the primes were disappointing. I will say we also bought the tokina 300 2.8 and the focus speed was so slow, we had the sigma 300 2.8 the white early version and the later version not a patch on the sony and I would bet the minolta ssm 300 would be the same as the sony g1 300 I have and love, that extra light is a massive plus. I have kept the sigma 500 4.5 ex and that is good for reach but for what ever reason sigma never did the sony version with the hsm motor as they did on every other mount I am aware of so great image quality but a bit slower focus. also not that it matters to you the sigma 500 will take the 1.4 and 2x sigma converters on a-mount but weirdly does not read f numbers correctly but the reach even on full frame is crazy.Cheers for that, yes the 600 is a want but won't buy. I am most likely to go for the 300, it will be perfect for Zoo stuff, as you know, but that 400 is cheap for a really nice lens. Also tempted by the 300 f4, CEX are selling them cheap.
