[QUOTE="Alokchitri, post: 31757, member: 1373"] Yes I agree with you. Sigma 50-500OS is better than 150-500OS. But the difference vanishes if 150-500 is stopped down to f8. Imho, there is not much justification in paying $600 extra for a zoom range which I am not going to use. The most useable zoom range is 400-500 at least for wild life. For this price, I think Nikkor AF-S 300 f4+Nikkon 1.4x TC (or Kenko Pro 300 Series 1.4x TC) will be better, though about 80mm shorter in reach. Still this combination is about a stop faster and produces far better result than either of the Sigmas wide open at 500mm length. Though surprisingly, I found that Tamron 200-500 produces very sharp result wide open at 500mm range, though it does not have IS (sadly)! [/QUOTE]
