http://www.ruggedgear.com/ I WAS INTO "SPORTING CLAY" COMPETITION, CART CARRIED MY GUNS, SHELLS AND WHAT EVERY AROUND THE SHOOTING COURSE WHICH COULD RUN TO OVER A MILE IN LENGTH.Do you have any information on the cart, such as how you converted it? I'm really interested in doing one of these. Is there a thread here on your project? Do you have a favorite website that you recommend for these conversions?

I have a Sigma 150-500 for my D3100. Now I'm see the short coming of the D3100. Have my eye on a D7100. Where does the madness stop? :greedy_dollars:
Mike, you know the Tamron drove you nuts. Why not try the Sigma, go with a Nikon 300mm f/4 with 1.4xTC, or wait on the new Nikon 200-500? J-see is right, you don't really want to marry your ex again, do you?
I agree, though, you NEED a long lens. It's importance is pretty close to the need ofr oxygen, food, water, and Internet access.

My bet is your next one will be just as sharp as the last and have no freeze issues.![]()
I just figured out what this is/was. A gold bag cart. I don't play golf so did not recognize it.
Don't fight it. You know you want it. You might wait for the new Nikon 200-500 review, though.
And if it all becomes too heavy to carry, you know the solution:

Saying this could be like insulting some one about there wifeime not convinced the Sigma is as sharp or has as good contrast as the Tamron,the nikon 300 and 1.4 would have to be the pre PF version so no VR ,i need to run some tests with the 70-300 and VR switched off.i can go higher with shutter speeds now,the Nikon 200-500 is heavier and more expensive.
The Sigma does have the definite advantage of being able to fine tune the lens itself at different focal lengths,the Nikon duo has the IQ advantage but would need more cropping,the ex girlfriend well i remember the bad times but loads of us will have nipped back on occasion for the good timesbut i guess we never stayed there.
Also keep in mind you're never going to have the same experience with the Tam on the D750 as you had on the D7100. Now 600mm looks like 600mm.
I don't want to be a party pooper but if I was in the same situation, I'd get the Sigma C.
Yes they say the Tam is a bit sharper at the long end but from what I see online, in practice I doubt it'll make any difference. Processing, light, aperture et all will each make more difference in sharpness between shots than the difference between the lenses.
On all my cams the Tam freezes most on my D750. Now that might be because I mainly shot her on that cam during the low light season. You can gamble on getting a freeze-free specimen but I personally think the odds are low. If they would have fixed the issue, they could fix our issue but it's still deadly silent when it comes to that. You also have to keep in mind you'll need different fine tune values on different focal lengths which is impossible on a Nikon unless you want to do it manually each time. Unless you will do it manually each time you change length, the Sigma will, on average, take sharper shots (if you get the dock) because its tuning will be much more accurate.
I'd consider this first if I was in your position.
You know what they say about the donkey and the stone.
