Hi
I am hoping for a bit of advice or opinions from users of the above lenses.
I have a D70 and am looking for a New lens for wildlife photography.
I can't decide to stretch myself and get the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 and use it in conjunction with a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter (very expensive option)
Or
buy the new DG Bigma and save £500
Part of me says go for the Bigma as it is the cheaper option and by all accounts takes some good pictures, though some say a little soft . I guess the advantages are a wider zoom range and the price.
The 120-300 f2.8 doesn't have the range at f2.8 but with a 2x teleconverter it is 600mm at f5.6. - both faster and a little extra range.
Is it really worth the extra money and a cross wife!
Any help appreciated
PS other options considered Tamron 200-500 and the Sigma 100-300 f4
Cheers
Alex
