Hi all,
I will shortly be in a position to spend about £2000 on a new camera set up.
For the last 5/6 years I have been using a bridge camera to just grab record shots, but have been planning to move up to a DSLR whenever the money became available. The only purpose for buying the camera is for birding and so BIF capability is important. I have settled on a Nikon D500 over the Canon 7d Mkii mostly because it has WiFi, otherwise they seem comparable in their abilities and anything better is out of my price range. However, I am really struggling to decide on a lens. I will buy a new camera body but happy with a used lens (so long as it is in excellent/as new condition). The question is which lens?
I can probably only afford either:
Nikkor 200-500mm
Sigma 150-600mm sport
Tamron 150-600mm G2
But which would work best? Any thoughts?
