[QUOTE="Alokchitri, post: 29343, member: 1373"] Hello friends I use Nikon D90 with [B]Nikkor 70-300G VR [/B]lens. I have been looking for some options for a longer reach and internet seems to be filled with [B]Sigma 150-500 OS[/B] and [B]Sigma 50-500 OS[/B] versions as recommended budget tele-zooms. Now there is one more from Nikkor, 80-400 f4.5/5.6. I almost settled my mind on 150-500OS version as it complements my 70-300VR better. Now one of my Facebook photographer friend, who swears by Photozone, strongly recommended [B]Tamron 200-500 Di version[/B]. I read the photozone review of this lens and it seems to be alright, more so [B]if I stop down the lens to f8[/B]. I tried to find whether there is any comparative test between Siggy 150-500OS and Tammy 200-500 SP Di version, but there is none from reputed sites. So may I ask the opinion of the members here about [B]which lens would give me better IQ (150-500OS or 200-500 SP Di)[/B]? Is there any [B]comparative test[/B] between these two lenses? Please understand that I shall not be able to afford higher primes which are simply out of my reach. Please help. Thank you [/QUOTE]
