Hi there. I'm thinking Id like a new lens for my camera. I presently have a Sigma 18-250, but I'd like to have something a little longer, like 400-500. BUT I don't want something heavy, or so long that I need to have it on a tripod to use it. I like my Sigma, it fits well, takes a good pic for an amature like me, but I'd like to get the wood ducks swimming on the pond without them being scared away. Any suggestions? Trying to keep it under $600.
I suggest looking at the Sigma 100-400 Contemporary. Amazon has them for $549 renewed or $609.99 new. I have been looking at this lens myself. One of my cameras is the Nikon D5500, similar to your D5600. This lens is not light, but weighs less than the 150-600 options,
