Ok here are a couple shots with my Nikon D600 and the Tamron 150-600mm. It does tend to overexpose so I shoot with the meter a little to the left. Then it competes 100% with the Sigzilla.

Too heavy for me to hand hold. Returned it.
That's a little short and sweet.

Not sure what you mean. The exposure meter is part of the camera body, not the lens?

Yes I am talking about the Exposure Meter in the viewfinder or LCD in Live Mode.

Good luck with the new lens. I have the Sigma thats a bit heavier, but I'd still recommend a monopod or a prop of some type. I like to use a heavy pyle towel on a partially open car window. Try it. It works great, plus power elevation. Lol.
Now that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.

Look at Regis' postings in UHH. He/she has a ton of photos mostly at the 600mm range and claims them to be handheld. They are with a Canon, but I don't think that will affect the lens results. They are quite wonderful.

IM saving for that lens, I cant wait to see how you like it. I would have been in the yard shooting with it the second it came in.

I just got the lens too and used it for the first time this past weekend. I'm using a D750 and a monopod with the VC on. It's sharp, light, works great. I read the lens is sharpest at F8.
You'll be very happy with it.

I use this lens on a Nikon D7100 and love it. Go to the websites I have in the tag line to see what it can do. And visit Regis's photos, I think he's using a full frame camera.

Unfortunately, the weather was not very conducive to picture taking yesterday. I am hoping to get out this weekend. This shot was taken from my car. This lens is definitely heavy making hand holding an act for patience and practice! :) I will try to get more pics this weekend.

Great start One Click. You'll get in the rhythm.

I managed to find some birds willing to be out in the cold today! The weather was 5 degrees, almost white out conditions and the wind was howling. The wood duck is cropped at 50%.

the website probably is compressing the images a lot to save space.
You could use IMGUR or other big image host solution.
