Ah yes! Once you get the camera bug, you always get GAS. Sort of like the flu and a cough. Just do it! You are helpless.

Huh? You've got to be kidding. Don't worry about picture quality or cost, buy the Sigma because it comes with a case. I've heard some dumb advice, but I believe you get the gold star. Thanks.
He might have been kidding. But I do have to confirm that the case on the Sigma is very good. Mine rolled off the cab-over bed in my camper while in the case: about a four foot drop onto a hard floor. Didn't bother the lens at all. (Well, it didn't exactly roll because the case cross section is square but it made the trip while going down the road.)
The Sigma is now shipping. I have the Sigma 150-500 and if the new 150-600 is as good it might be the right choice. I understand the less expensive one is now shipping.
I haven't seen any comparisons on image quality yet. Perhaps the more important issue will be on the VR/OS. The one on my Sigma 150-500 is very good. I'd like to see a comparison between the one on the new 150-600 to the Tamron.

Does anybody know where you can get a carrying case for the Tamron 150-600? Tamron should have charged $50 more and provided a carrying case/cover for the Tamron 150-600.

I got my Tamron 150-600 Christmas and I got an Ape Case for it last month.

Look at the large "ape case". It works.

Thank you for the compliment.
I wish I'd put the $$ I spent on the Tamron and case toward the new EF 16-35 or perhaps the, yet to arrive, 5D IV.

I have a Nikon D7100 camera and use a Tamron 150-600 for shooting birds, sport events, landscape etc. and I think it is a very good lens for the money. I have not tried it indoors for any sporting event at this time. As the reviews say, it is not a great lens for low light.
