[QUOTE="Peter7100, post: 767278, member: 48633"] After many weeks debating with myself on which telezoom to go for I finally decided on the Sigma 150-600. The main driving factor was the extra 100mm reach and price over the Nikon 200-500. I'm sure the latter is better built and I suspect is quicker to focus on moving subjects. The only issue I have found so far with the Sigma is, for moving subjects it is not as quick to latch on to focus immediately like my Nikon 300mm does. I carried it around for a couple of hours yesterday and to be honest I didn't find the weight to be an issue and that is coming from someone who a few years ago had a very bad shoulder fracture and dislocation, which has left some movements issue. Sharpness wise, I am impressed so far, particulary for the purpose of the photo's I take. As it is widely reported about focus issues and docks being required, I was able to establish this lens has never had one attached as I bought it secondhand and the previous owner never used one since he purchased it new. So that might tend to suggest what I thought before that there is good and not so good copies out there. It's early days yet as I have still to have fun with it and I suspose the big question for me is if it will also make my Nikon 300mm redundant, but it will have to really perform well for that to happen. My very first image with was a shot of the moon from my back garden, where there is really too much light polution, however I thought the result was not too bad. Exampe below.
