[QUOTE="10 Gauge, post: 475620, member: 39102"] Everyone has said what needs to be said I think but I'll throw in my observations as well since I have been doing a lot of wildlife shooting lately with the same body as the OP. I was happy with the IQ of the Tamron 150-600 even at 600mm. The biggest problem I had was the insane amount of AF microadjust was needed at 600mm. I had to fumble to dial back the fine tune every time I needed to shoot at less than 600mm. Tamron did offer to calibrate the lens for me but in the long run I felt like the Sigma with the USB dock was the best option. The ability to fine tune the AF at different focal lengths myself was a big selling point. Since you're full frame, primes that really have a good reach are exorbitently expensive. I don't feel like a 300 + 1.4TC gives enough reach. Even with 600mm I felt myself wanting more, so I set that as my personal prime shooting range. If you're not snapping wildlife professionally I think the Tam/Sig 150-600 options are absolutely the best option for the price on an FX body. Sent from my HTC One M8 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
