Looking For a wildlife lens for My Nikon D610

Any Input on the Nikon 80-400 vr Old model?? Thanks

Actually I use the VR more on my wide angle because low ISO and high f-stop needed for scenery images.

For wildlife I use minimum Fstop, shutter speed of /1000, and float ISO with the light. Many animal pics are in dim light. That's why you see sharper images with like the constant f4 Nikon 200-400. Or with a 2.8 when you can get close enough.

And why the new 200-500 won't match it because of constant 5.6. But it might match the 80-400 at the long end.

On All heavy telephoto lens it is important, and when panning or hand held , moving subjects , as wildlife doesn't stand still for too long. on a wide angle I agree not worth spending the money .

We are talking 70-200mm 2.8 and I did the test on my 610 nikon on my tripod with the test charts and even backed it up by testing focus with a subject with ruler as gauge, believe me forward focus is very much a problem , Even had a friend that is a pro wedding photographer test it and sure enough I was right.

quote=MtnMan]Where did you find that comparison?

I haven't found the Sigma on DXOMark.

If using DXOMark you need to ensure both lenses are tested for the same camera. The camera used makes a large difference in their results for the same lens.[/quote]

In Camera yes I did but even at a 20 point correction it was still forward focusing and reviews have said this is a problem, I wish I could have kept it but could not deal with the problem. And I compaird the sigma c to the Tamron and in focus and sharpness tamron came out on top. Thanks for input !

I do believe that the Sigma Sports is sharper than the Tamron. Of course, it is more expensive as well. On your 70-200, doing a lens calibration would have fixed that problem.

Vr Is important but I will check it out Thanks,

The older Sigma 400mm f5.6 APO-tele-macro is a great option for Nikon users - IF - you can find one - about $400 most places, no VR.

Your right the weight is the same.

I don't think the Sigma C is heavier than the Tamron. You may have looked at the S.

Where did you find data indicating the Tamron sharper? I found the opposite relative to the Sigma 150-500 but no data on the 150-600 C.

I will look at the 200-500 but the 150-600 reviews show not as good as Tamron's 150-600, Sigma not my fav. any more had the 70-200 2.8 lots of forward focus.

I would look at Nikon's newest lens, the 200-500 f5.6 or the Sigma Sport 150-600.

Looking at the tamron myself the sigma is heavier and not as sharp hand held, Tamron not good with crop but I use full FX and reviews shows its sharp

MtnMan wrote:

You probably know the two leaders today are the Tamron and Sigma 150-600, both about $1,000. (Sigma C)

You can get buys now on the few remaining new or used Sigma 150-500s.

I'll be selling mine in a couple of months when my Nikon 200-500 arrives.

Would like to see your pics without the 1.4 , I have a 1.7 but would like to see without, Take care Thanks for reply!

I just went through the same dilemma this week. Good luck....I went with the 80-400VR and the Nikon 1.4 TC, and my few test shots are quite pleasing. For shorter shots and low light, I could have chosen the 70-200. I'm trying to talk my wife into getting it for her, but so far it doesn't look too encouraging. Yeah, right....

It's all a matter of what you perceive to be your greatest use and within a realistic budget. Dave.

I have a D610 and have been looking too. At one point I thought the Sigma C 150-600 would be a good choice but then Nikon announced the new 200-500 F5.6 for around $1400, claiming 4 plus stops of VR, so I've pre-ordered one and hope it fills the bill. I've had such good luck with Nikon lenses in the intermediate price range, that I think this one should be good. It can also use Nikons 1.4x TC.
