OK, advise requested.
I'm looking for a "super zoom" mainly for use at my son's lacrosse. I've been debating about the Nikon 200-500 and the Sigma offerings; contemporary or sport 150-600... The above deal seems almost to good to pass up the contemporary. I currently use my 70-200 2.8 and would like just a little more reach. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

The 200-500mm f/5.6 is on sale (refurb) through close of business from Nikon for $1150 I think. So it’s really a ‘is the $400 difference worth it’ thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Sigma has a longer zoom, but the Nikon is a fixed f/5.6 and better optically, so while it isn’t as long, it’ll be sharper and faster tracking with AF. Mind you, that’s my opinion on it, not a stated fact. The 200-500mm f/5.6 is on sale (refurb) through close of business from Nikon for $1150 I think. So it’s really a ‘is the $400 difference worth it’ thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's not a real dealer, that's a bait and switch scam outfit trying to use the name of a previously reputable dealer that went out of business. |
