FOR
THE
TAMRON
Tamron was too slow filling the pipeline. Got the Sigma instead. I'm still getting used to working with it. FWIW, here's a couple samples. Both with a D7100 on a monopod. (Clicking the image takes you to Flickr, where they look better)
Red-Tailed Hawk. Shot at 350mm. ISO 200, 1/400, f/7.1
Willets. Shot at 500mm. ISO 200, 1/400, f/7.1

Yes, SIGMA APO 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM. Nothing special; my normal workflow in Lightroom 5.
- basic lens correction per profile (there really isn't much distortion or CA at either end, but I do it anyway)
- tweaked WB, exp, contrast, highlights, shadows, clarity, vibrance, white point, black point
- noise reduction followed by sharpen w/mask
- a little dodge/burn
- level and crop
- post-crop vignette
Here's the 500mm shot raw with no processing other than converting to small sRGB jpeg by LR5
