[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 615551, member: 25183"] I started with a 70-300mm Tamron VC, it got me by but wasn't long enough for birds generally and also not super sharp. I now have the Nikon 200-500mm and the extra reach is so much better and it is a whole lot sharper than my Tamron 70-300mm was, even wide open at 500mm it is much sharper. The major down side is the size, weight and cost of this lens. There is an option coming out soon that will sit somewhere in between the two. Sigma are releasing a 100-400mm f/5-6.3 lens which will be light and compact compared to the 150-600's and from what I've seen it may be priced at around $800. It is yet to be seen how this lens performs but on paper it looks good. I'd love to get one as a travel wildlife lens. [URL]https://www.sigmaphoto.com/100-400mm-f5-63-dg-os-hsm-c[/URL] [/QUOTE]
