[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 121697, member: 13076"] I don't know if you considered a 400 mm prime lens? It seems that you would be shooting around f5.6 anyway regardless of the Nikon/TC or Tamron at the far end of the telephoto range. Would a Sigma outperform a zoom Nikon ED with Nikon teleconverter? I don't actually think so. Also in the long term the Nikon quality will win out in terms of robustness. And it isn't only sharpness to consider, it is also color rendition, flaring, etc.. The Sigma shots shown are great photos in terms of the quality of the moment but I find the contrast and color a bit flat compared to what I expect from a Nikon telephoto (hope you don't mind me saying). Just because a lens is f5.6 doesn't mean light transmission will be as good because that just refers to the relative aperture. [/QUOTE]
