Excellent shots! What in your opinion makes the Nikkor better than the Sigma C? I've only used the 200-500mm so don't have any personal reference to make a comparison.

IMHO the nikon is sharper right through its focal length, has better vr, nicer colour and contrast, slightly smoother bokeh and more consistently accurate with its af.
A shot taken with the nikon at 500mm can be cropped to 600mm+ and beat the same shot taken with the sigma at 600mm.
The nikon performs better wide open than the sigma.
The nikon also has a nicer build and ergonomics.
I used the sigma for a year before jumping ship.

Everything he said also applies to me except I went from the big Tamron to the Nikon + TC 1.4 III:encouragement:

Psst. Anyone want to buy a Tamron?

First day to play with this new lens fine tuned AF, shutter speed should been a little faster but just getting a fill for the lens, also used remote flash for this it was in the shade.

The answer my friend, is in a seed head blowing in the wind.

Good taste spreads slowly but it's worth the wait

Rising mist, I got drenched shortly before this but just about managed to keep my gear dry.

I have had the lens for over a week and have now got myself a d7200 to use with it.
I think I am going to have a great time with this combination.
