[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 450109, member: 24569"] The Tamron 150-600 is a sharper lens than the Sigma 150-500 according to all the MTF data I've seen. More importantly, in practical real life shooting photographers are getting very sharp results with it. For a lot more money you could get a prime or the new Nikon 80-400 and get a lens that will probably perform even better, but the Tammy 150-600 is really a great lens. The reports I've seen of the Sigma 150-600 seem to indicate it is a great lens, as well. I can certainly say that I'm very happy with my Tamzooka. Meanwhile, if you want to keep costs down and think you would be happy at 300mm, the good old Nikon 70-300 VR really is a great lens. You can find them used for $300 or even less. Mine stays in a drawer these days, but I can't get myself to put it up for sale. It would be like selling an old friend. :) [/QUOTE]
