Hello guys. Glad to have found this forum! I am new to birding and am thinking of getting my first lens dedicated to birding and just general wildlife.
I am a Nikon user and everything beyond this range is expensive if considering Nikkor lenses. So was thinking of getting a third party 400mm range.
Currently considering these two lenses:
Sigma 400mm 5.6 APO
Sigma 135-400mm APO non-DG
Wondering which is better? Especially in terms of IQ?
I thought that a prime would generally create better IQ than a prime, but often for primes I have to constantly search for the object because the object is so close up in my viewfinder and a zoom would make it easier to find the object and zoom in?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
