[QUOTE="ryan20fun, post: 469412, member: 38850"] Hello All. I've been keeping an eye on the discussions about the Tamron 150-600mm and the Sigma C 150-600mm. Right now I am favoring the Sigma as I can get the USB dock if I need to make adjustments for the focusing and the firmware updates is nice too. But my main/bigger dilema is wether or not I will be able to get a fast enough shutter speed at the long end with my D3200. I don't want to go over ISO 800 as I find 1600 to be too much, But I will use it if I have too (Better to get the shot then to worry over if you can see each feather on the bird Etc). Now I've seen some members saying what a difference it is to go from a D3100/D3200 to the D7100/D7200, But how much of the is in the image quality department? Right now I am trying to use shutter speeds atleast as fast the the current focal length, VR helps when it is overcast so the issue may not be so big. How good it the VR of the Tamron/Sigma compared to the 70-300 VR? Here in south africa is pretty sunny, The problem for me it when it gets overcast I have to push up the ISO a bit. I mainly shoot birds, I have also gotton some shots from a reserve for big wildlife( giraffe, wildebeast, zebra, rhino, vulture, eagle, buzzard, Etc ), So birds are my main focus. I have access to a lot of weavers and some other birds at my home where I can get within 10-15m of them, Its when going to other places that the distance make my 70-300mm rather short. The lens would be better as the bird will fill the frame (alot more), But shutter speed... I plan on getting both the lens and camera, But at one first then the other when I have the money, So what advice can you give me? Thanks in advance. -Edit There is a D7100 on special for the same price as the Tamron/Sigma for this month or till stocks last. [/QUOTE]
