[QUOTE="Bikerbrent, post: 591368, member: 42081"] I believe the middle lens is just the 150-600 mm Sport with the 1.4 teleconverter while the bottom entry is the same lens without the teleconverter. I have the 150-600 Contemporary and love it. It works great with my non-sigma 1.4 teleconverter as well. Keep in mind that a teleconverter will increase the minimum aperture to F8.0 on both lenses. My D7200 will autofocus at F8.0 with the center focus spot only. I don't know if your D7000 will autofocus at F8.0, so this is something you need to check out before buying one. Since this lens will give you the equivalent of 900mm on your camera, not sure you really need the teleconverter anyway. From the reviews I have seen, I am not sure the sport model has enough better performance to warrant the additional cost unless you really need the additional ruggedness of the sport lens. If you can try both lenses on your camera, that would be the best way to make a decision. [/QUOTE]
