Here's some samples with the Sig 70-200 with Sig 2x TC. Sigma 70-200 OS/2x TC Decent combo, focus was still fast and accurate for the most part.  Ultimately I returned the TC and just went with a...

Nikon business model reminds me that of the struggling Meade Telescope company.  One that doesn't make it's customer base too happy.

I see no problem with the lens.  The results from it speaks volume. I'd see a problem when it gets VR and added to it and Nikon sees fit to charge $2400.

Congrats, I picked one up used about a month ago after selling my older version of this lens about a year ago.  It was a huge mistake selling it as looking back it was the lens mostly mounted to my...

The 300 f/4 af-s is pretty flexible with it's ability to close focus.  Lot's of folks use this lens for macro work(naked or with extension tubes), it take stunning floral shots and with its optics,...

Nikon 300 f/4 af-s hands down.   You can find them used all day long for $800-1000($900 mint easily).   Image quality is superb, performance is good and later on you can add a 1.4 TC with virtually...

Here's some samples of the 70-200 OS and the Sigma 2X TC. Sigma 70-200 OS/ Sigma 2X TC It's certainly a viable option low cost option if you're already invested in the 70-200.  IQ is good, hardly...

I'll never sell my 300 f/4 af-s

Since moving to FF, I miss my siggy 30 1.4.  I really wanted to get the 50 1.4 but with the move to FF, picking up some new lens, money was a bit tight.  So I put the sigma 50 1.4 on the back...

Really only you can answer that question.  I only know because I had the same dilemma once. Being that this is only a hobby, and I make no money doing it,  I ended up with the Sigma 70-200 OS.  I...

Ultimately this is the route I went even with having success with the 70-200/2X TC combo.  Fact is, I enjoy birding the most out of this hobby.  The 300 F/4 with either the 1.4 or 1.7 while on a...

I've had some good results using the Sigma 70-200 OS / Sigma 2 TC apo ex combo.  I have to imagine that the Nikon equivalent combo would manage the same if not better results. I felt that AF all...

I use the Sigma 2X TC apo ex on a Sigma 70-200 OS.  Hardly a loss on AF, good IQ still, not much hunting(some in low light).  I'm not sure if it's compatible or not on the tammy but I've had great...

Exactly, once (N) and VR are added, we are looking at a $2400 minimum lens.

Here's one from today, large crop, handheld.  This combo yields better results then I was expecting for sure.

I have but not to many samples yet.  Here's some of my first few shots. Sigma 70-200OS / Sigma 2X apo ex tc

I had two copies of the 35 1.8G(bought in to the hype twice).  Both squeaked when focusing, hunted quite a bit, slow focusing, and nasty bokeh.  I decided to try the siggy and I'll never forget...

I had no issues with mine and a D7000.  I thought it was worth the $450 and feel it's a steal if they can still be found at that reduced price.

See is you can still find the old version Sigma 30 1.4.  They were blowing them out at $280  while back.

Just for the record, this thread is originally from 08', so this discussion wasn't about the new VR copy :-)
