I currently have a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 which I use with my Nikon D300 but I am hoping to get a longer lens to help me get some better images of birds and other wildlife. I could use some advice.
I have been looking at the Tamron and Sigma 150-600mm lenses but £700 is going to be a stretch for me at the moment for what is essentially just a hobby. I have seen some Sigma 150-500mm lenses for around £300 on Ebay and I could potentially afford these (Christmas and Birthday both coming up!).
My question is should I buy the Sigma 150-500mm or wait and try to save up enough money for the 150-600mm? Apart from the extra focal length will image quality be noticeably better on the 150-600mm?
If you have owned or used these lenses I'd be very interested in your opinions.
