[QUOTE="Peter7100, post: 766225, member: 48633"] I have been studying reviews on the following lenses for some time now - [B]Nikon 200-500[/B] [B]Tamron 150-600 G2[/B] [B]Sigma 150-600 C [/B]It doesn't matter if your read reviews from professionals like say Steve Perry, who had to return his first [U]TWO[/U] copies (that's really bad!) of the Nikon 200-500, or just regular photographers who post in various forums, but you will frequently read stories of the 'bad copies' that have 'been returned'. Now before anyone jumps in with how good their copy is, I know there is many happy people out there (I can think of three regulars on this forum, who each seem to have a good copy of one of the above), there is definitely a larger percentage than normal of duds. Of course this is not to say that should you be lucky enough to have a good copy then you will likely be a happy bunny. My question is therefore, why does this range of lenses produce so many failures? Is it due to the challenging optics in a range from 150 to 600mm. If you are buying new then there is usually the option to return them, but what is happening at the quality control level in production of these lenses. I can say I have never came across any other group of lenses (and I have followed lens reviews for decades), from any manufacturer that has had so many complaints. [/QUOTE]
