[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 621234, member: 15675"] My conclusion seems to be that most are confused about the telephoto choise. My budget beeing different, I`m currently at (above 200mm): 70-300 f4-5.6 that is a "bad version", but it is super cheap, light and flexible. (have a similar 100-300 on Sony) 300mm f4 PF light, super quality and fast, but less flexible Sigma 500mm f4.5 cheaper and more portable then the big one, but a little issue on the AF (always in the car) AF-S 600mm f4 expensive and heavy, but a reach and quality beyond the rest So there are different factors to consider: money, weight, flexibility and reach. Working with mono/tri-pods and heads (gimbal, geared, video) is an extra constraint and cost. I thus believe that currently a 300mm AF-D with TCs is a more useful solution. The Tamron 150-600 first version is coming close these days. The goal is if you are confronted with your subject you get your shot: [ATTACH=CONFIG]254562._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
