[QUOTE="nickt, post: 615467, member: 4923"] I have the Tamron SP 70-300, it is a good lens and fairly sharp. You can get good bird shots only if you are close. I also have the Sigma C 150-600. The Sigma certainly gets me closer and I enjoy having it. It is also big and heavy, so think about the size. My Sigma hangs around the back yard or it goes in the boat with me or stays near the car. I wouldn't want to walk around all day with it. The 70-300 is much better for all day general use even though it will leave me short for distance. The 160-600 is great for wildlife, but big. So think about your carry needs and balance that with the reach you want. They are really two very different lenses, its hard to make it an either/or choice without extreme compromises. Here's a pic of the two side by side. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]251061._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
