[QUOTE="captain birdseye, post: 682475, member: 21047"] I have owned most of the earlier mentioned lenses, ie; nikon 300f4 af-s+1.4tc, sigma 150-600 c and nikon 200-500vr. I found the 300f4 and 1.4tc to be the sharpest (a little better than the 200-500vr and more so vs the sigma 150-600), it also has the better close up performance if you chose to shoot things like dragonflies and butterflies. Lack of vr has to be taken in to consideration (I am a dedicated monopod user so it is a moot point for me). The sigma 150-600 was my main lens for about 18 months and I was never completely happy with it as i found it to be inconsistent in its focus and generally a little sub-par in colour, contrast and fine detail. The nikon 200-500vr trumps the sigma in just about every aspect and is my main lens at the moment. The reasons are its sharpness is near to the 300f4 and tc. Its vr is excellent and the flexibility of having a zoom. The 200-500vr [/QUOTE]
