[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 382051, member: 8705"] As a Tamron owner I have the following comments. The Tamron takes a very good picture, even handheld and at the price point it's fantastic. As with any lens of this size, the more the photographer gets right the greater the reward. The Tamron lens is one of the few things I've bought that exceeded my expectations. Also, the weight is good for the focal length and my wife happily walks around with it on her D7100. As to the Sigma, it may be even better, but I suspect you will need to use it correctly to enjoy the difference. It's also heavier by some way which may affect some people. I suppose better has never equalled lighter in the world of photography. Being me I would love to try one and see how they compare in actual use and then I would probably end up buying one having come up with some very loose justification. One thing we have been doing with ours is actually using monopods, rather than leaving them in the car. I even bought a second heavy weight Manfrotto 681B as my wife took a liking to mine. So whilst handheld with VC is impressive, the monopod takes it up a level. It's also really useful to support it when you are waiting around as I was when my daughter did a parachute jump recently. I look forward to seeing some actual results from members of the forum, particularly those who have used the 150-500 in the past with good results. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
