Brent, I have a 500mm f6.3 Samyang CAT and it's a real pain to focus. It works OK when you get it focused, but it's not easy and the bokeh sucks.
However it's much lighter and vastly more compact than my 150-500mm Sigma. On the other hand the Sigma is faster and has A/F. It also has builtin IS which our Sony a77 (and a200) bodies don't need.
Then I found on Sunday that my son bought the same Sigma for his Nikon.
