I'm wondering. Since I've close to no experience with focal lengths at 300 ('sides of the "soso" 28-300, which is crap at 300 mm) and above and am looking currently on "still no delivery date" on the Sigma 150-600, I start thinking about getting this new lightweight lens, maybe a 1.7× converter and save some 2 kg of weight.
Any ideas? The weight and size difference is massive and even if the Sigma would bring sufficient image quality between 200 and 400, I'm still afraid it would remain often at home.
The converter, on the other side, is something to fiddle with. I had one in the old days and it was always too much to change for only one shot. That would direct me back to the Sigma. But I admit, my patience slowly starts to decrease. Entering the third month waiting, I'm slightly upset. At least, when Nikon announces something new, they usually give a reliable delivery date closely which is end of January in that case.
