OK guys, please steer me into a 150-600mm for my d7100. I know there are a number of Tamron owners here. Not as many Sigma owners. Pretty sure [MENTION=39102]10 Gauge[/MENTION] has the Sigma and @Felisek too, I can't remember who else. I spent half the night reading posts here last night, but I'm looking for some current opinions. How do you feel about your lens today? Do you still love it? Things sometimes go downhill quickly like @mikew 's Tamron. Tamron has a $70 rebate right now and a 2 yr longer warranty. Not enough to win me over if the Sigma is better for me.
Most people don't seem to be bothered by the Tamron freeze problem. Some don't even have a problem. But I'm thinking the potential is there to really annoy me if it does happen. I'm a patient guy but not so much for unresponsive electronics. So that worries me and I am leaning toward the Sigma. Also the Sigma has a couple more features that seem useful.
Do I need the USB dock if I get the Sigma? Seems like it would be good to have. Thanks for any help. I might be able to wrap this up this weekend before any guilt sets in!
