I looked it up and you are certainly right, the Nikon will be almost a pound heavier than the Tamron. The older 300mm f/4 with 1.4x is about a pound lighter than the Tammy, and I REALLY notice the difference. The new 300mm f/4 is crazy light, but also leaves one's pocketbook significantly lighter, as well. Maybe the Tamron folks have worked the bugs out and the latest copies of the 150-600 will have less focus lock up problems. I don't know what I would do in your situation, Mike, but you really do need a nice, long lens since you enjoy bird photography so much.</blockquote>
