Look on Craigslist for your area. Look at used lenses.

There are professional comparisons that show the Sigma Sport is better than the Sigma Contemporary or the Tamron. It is also better in some ways than the Nikon 200-500. These are the pros for the Sigma Sport. There are some cons, due to variations among individual lenses. but not sure whether they should be a deciding factor in choosing which lens to purchase.

Here is a link to an article that discusses these lenses, even though it is titled as a review of the 200-500mmm lens:

Give KEH camera company a call or google their site. I just purchased a nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 in excellent condition for $650.00; that's a $1500.00 lens. KEH specializes in used camera equipment.
