[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 633669, member: 43924"] I looked at the Sigma, as well, but what scared me away wasn't so much the weight but the fact that ColorFoto, a German magazine that does very thorough and systematic testing (albeit on Nikon D7100 in the APS-C category), gave it 68.5 points for IQ where the Nikon 300 PF received 75.5, which in the tele range is topped only by Nikon's 400 F2.8 FL (77.5 points, >$10,000, almost 4kg). The average across all lenses they ever tested on the D7100 is 62.5, which indicates how far the 300 PF stands out. Plus, it is an FX lens, so if I ever want to make the switch, I won't have to buy new glass. In the FX ranking, tested on Nikon D800, it is topped only by two behemoths, Nikon's 500 F4 FL and Sigma's 500, both inching in exactly one point above the 300 PF (and each weighing four times as much).
