I am thinking about replacing my Tamron 150-600 (original) lens. It is having focusing issues. Sometimes it refuses to focus and I have to take it off and put it back on the camera to get it to work again. If you like to shoot birds like I do this is a serious. Other times it just misses focus.
I will be using the lens on my Nikon D500.
My main candidates for replacement are:
Nikon 200-500
Tamron 150-600 G2
Sigma 150-600 C
From the reviews I have read this is what I have learned
Nikon
Sharpest image
"Best" autofocus
Smaller focal range
Heaviest of the three
Tamron G2
Longer focal range than the Nikon
Sharper than my original Tamron but not as sharp as the Nikon
Lighter than the Nikon
Programmable via the dock
Sigma
Least expensive
The lightest of the three
Longer focal range than the Nikon
Not as sharp as the original Tamron
Any opinions on these lenses would be greatly appreciated.
