For handheld use or on a tripod? Lots of praise for the Tamron 200-500 around, seems that is o.k. to hold. Alternatively, the ubiquitous 'Bigma' 50-500mm has to be mentioned... I do know a couple of people who hold this one and get sharp photos, but you'll need quite good light to get the shutter-speeds high enough wih any 500mm to reduce camera shake. Tripod strongly suggested for any of these/

Maybe someone else has a recommendation?

cheers,
