[QUOTE="J-see, post: 385173, member: 31330"] The Sigma and Tam 150-600mm have VR but don't expect miracles at such a focal distance. You need a pretty fast shutter speed to eliminate all shake. Or a good technique which, as I experience, takes more than a thousand clicks, to develop. A tripod would help a lot. It might be hard to get a Sigma since it is just released. If I was you, I'd consider upgrading the cam too. A D3300 as an example is very cheap for the quality it delivers. It has double the pixels as your D90 which allows you to crop quite some and still have the same pixel/quality as you got now. It also has better ISO performance than what you have now which will translate in more light if you need it. It costs some 500 here and even when being "entry" outperforms yours at every level. That's what new technology does. If you'd invest more, there are plenty of great cams available. I think it's a shame if you'd buy a new lens to get great shots on your trip and then drag the D90 along which will impact the quality any of those lenses can deliver. [/QUOTE]
