Which lens?

jrd · 2010-07-11 20:26:17

I am looking at getting a longer lens for birds and wildlife. I have a D700, 80-200mm is my longest currently. I am looking at second hand versions of 1) Nikon 80-400mm 2) Sigma 150-500mm Really appreciate views from anyone who has used these and ideally from someone who has used both ! TIA

Not familiar with either of those two lenses, but what about the Nikon 300mm f4 telephoto with a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter? Would be interesting to see how it compares to the 80-400mm.
