Sigma 120 - 300

Hi

Is there anybody that use the Sigma 120 - 300 2.8 with their Nikon cameras.  I have the D7100 and D750 and would like to do more bird photography.  Looking for a lens that will give me more detail in the feathers etc.  The Nikon 300 2.8 is a bit steep for my budget.  I do use a Tamron 150 -600 that gives me good results but a but slow in autofocus.  Thx.

Give the Nikon 300 f/4 a look. Its pretty good on my D7100. I also use it often with the TC 1.7 (when enough light available).  (Mine is the AF-S version bought new a few years ago, $1200-1300 range if memory serves).......;)

Why so serious?

Hi
