[QUOTE="photogramps, post: 352585, member: 30726"] [I]Technical[/I] comparison here: [url=http://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Compare/Side-by-side/Tamron-SP-150-600mm-F-5-63-Di-VC-USD-Model-A011-Canon-on-Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II-versus-Sigma-150-500mm-F5-63-APO-DG-OS-HSM-Canon___1263_483_547_0]Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD (Model A011) Canon on Canon EOS 5D Mark II versus Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM Canon - Side by side lens comparison - DxOMark[/url] I don't have the Sigma but it is said that it is sharper at 500mm than the Tamron is at 600mm but I'm not sure that there is enough in it to discount the Tamron. The crux of the matter with both of these lenses is what available light you will have to work with and how your camera handles low-light - I have used the Tamron at ISO4000 on my D800 and have been reasonably pleased with the results, however my 400 f2.8 + 1.4/1.7TC's is much better ... but heavier! Many sports/aircraft photographers are very happy with the Sigma but wildlife photographers always want more reach so it is here that the Tamron excels - for sports I see high praise for the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 where more use can be made of the available light ... but it is a notch up the price ladder :) [/QUOTE]
