Have you tried the Tammy? I used a friends 200/500 for a month, I'll stick with my Tammy, it's weather sealed with 100mm more reach. Check "Best of the Tetons" Mike has both and uses the Tammy.
The 200-500 is actually sharper at 500 than the tammy at 600. As far as weather sealed, I NEVER SHOOT IN THE RAIN. What's the point?
And, I shoot hand help in Florida's Wetlands all morning, why would I shoot with the heavier tammy?

If you check weights you'll find the Tamron is lighter. I shoot a lot of wildlife on horseback and ATVs and.get wet often. Your weather predictions are much better than mine.

I was referring to the G2 which, the manufacture says has "moisture-resistant construction", which, as you know, is NOT weather sealed.

The cheapest way to get a good focusing, good IQ through out the zoom range 600mm is to buy the Nikon 200-500 5.6 lens.
Can you please explain to me how one gets "through out the zoom range 600mm" with a 500mm lens?! By the way, I own a Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6 so I'm not putting down the lens. For the money, it's a darn good lens.
