And your point is..............??
Kris (coastalconn) has the BEST examples of what that lens can do, but then Kris could get sharp images using a cola bottle for a lens.

Hahaha can I see that?!
I'm dancing around with the idea of a long lens for wildlife. I could definitely be happy with results like this.I personally like the Tamron 150-600 quite a bit. For the price it will be hard to beat. It's too early to tell how the Sigma variants will perform, but the Sport is 2K. I had the 150-500 Sigma in the past and it is not bad for the price, but at 500mm it was the sharpest, even stopped down. Side by side at 420 I found the Tamron to be very close to the Nikon 300F4+1.4x TC. I know I'm a mutant that likes dead fish, but here is a 100% crop of the "dead" fish.. lol... It is sharp enough for me, but YMMV

i have watched allot of reviews on youtube and what not, and the sigma 150-500 people keep saying after 400mm it looses sharpness and the pictures they took showed to prove that.
the tamron 150-600 looks much better but it still was not as sharp as the canon lenses i saw people put it up against but it was descent. but it still has me wondering if i would be happy with the lens.
i saw a review on the nikon 80-400 and i was pretty impressed, than i saw the price tag on that.
i dont plan to use the zoom in low light, i picked up a 35mm f/1.8 for shooting in low light. . for long exposure night shooting ill probably stick with my 18-200, a 400mm+ would be for daylight wildlife shooting, some kind of VR would be nice because i don't prefer to use a tripod except for long exposure night shooting. i think a 300mm F/4 with T/C would work out well but even the brands like sigma seem like there a bit expensive for prime lenses. at this point the tamron 150-600 seems like a good option but i am worried i may not be 100% happy with it.
