[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 462324, member: 13692"] I am considering investing in a 600 mm prime for birding. Since birding is only a small part of my photography I can not justify the price of the latest 600 mm VR. Also, since I will use it primarily for exposures under 1/1000 I am leaning toward a used 600 mm f/4 D ED-IF (I or II) AF-S without VR. I am aware of the popular Tamron and Sigma 150-600 mm zooms. Unfortunately their resolution at 600 mm is only about 37 LP/mm compared to 45-50 LP/mm for a good 600 mm prime. The same comparison holds true for a 300 mm prime with a TC 20. I would be grateful for ideas or comments in regards to the above. [/QUOTE]
