Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review
#4
Won't be that sure with "there's no market anymore". But that's only kind of feeling, no fact.

 

  1. T 150-600 and S 150-600 C still are less expensive, offering more range but not much more weight.
  2. Optically the S 150-600 C should be more or less the same quality,
  3. and both Sigmas can be firmware updated by myself and also customized, if I don't mind the fact it's time-consuming. 
  4. There are not much N200-500 in the market right now, I think it's good to wait a couple of months if this lens is really "issueless"
  5. I'm not convinced of Nikon's VR anymore. Can only speak for me, but weak shutter speeds or the last bit of the promised 4-5 f-stops I get from my Sigmas - I don't get that from my Nikons.
I've looked at some of Bojan's shots. Of course, Nikon can't make this lens equally to the much more expensive 500 or 600 primes, it's just no reason to give up an already bought Sigma to me. I appreciate the fact they offer something for the long range economic zoom league, especially for the people who are as biased for Nikon as I am for Sigma  Big Grin I just don't see the superior advantage of the China-Nikon.
