[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 76205, member: 8517"] Unfortunately, the 150-500 sigma is soft-ish at its max ap of F6.3. Really, f8 is optimum sharpness, and not at 500mm either. Its best backed off to 450mm or less. I'm on my 2nd 150-500 now i'm a Nikon user, and you have to be prepared for compromises. I tried TC's with it too and the IQ is pretty horrendous , plus the damn thing hunts all over the place for way too long, even in good light. Forget TCs at all if you decide on this lens and stop down to f8 at full zoom, but back off from 500mm to around 450mm for the best way to get decent pics [/QUOTE]
