[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 711846, member: 9240"] OK, so you (like me) have 10/11 fps with the D500. Yes, a lot can happen in that 1/10s between clicks particularly with birds in flight/hummingbirds. And yet, I can't remember a time I wishes I had twice as many shots to wade thru every outing just to get the small handful that I've "missed" in that 1/10th over all my time with the camera. You don't have the budget for the f4 lenses but you're considering the swap? Before you do, get your hands on a 300mm f4 PF. When I got mine I lost 1/2 my reach with the Sigma 150-600mm Sport, but I got so many more shots because I was no longer turning an aircraft carrier - I was turning a sports car. I stick a 1.4x on there and never think about the Sport any more. And the images are so sharp - I was amazed at the difference when I first got it.
