[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 436151, member: 14443"] if you dont like your tamron 150-600, I dont think the sigma will be any different. MAYBE slightly if any or possibly not at all. as J-see recommended, try doing an AF tune. I only re the 80-400 AFS-the new G lens? reviews say its great. if its the gen 1, ask Scott, he has it. if it were me, like Rick, the choice would be very easy. 300mm f/4 AFS gen 1 with TC. no hesitation. dont know why people forget how good the older gen lens is once a new one comes out. its like "thank god we finally have this lens nikon because the other was just a POS" there was a reason why this lens has been around for 15 years. well maybe 5 years too much but its that good. its fast and its brilliant. I think the new PF is overpriced for the minute increase in IQ and no tripod collar as well. but if you have the money and the size is a turn off then go for the PF. Nasims test shows the mtf sharper by a smidge at open (in the center only-corners GEN 1 is superior!) with the new PF but the gen 1 is no slouch as is and paying so much more for a minute difference seems unnecessary.
