Hey all! I'm finally upgrading to a Nikon D750 after being with a D7100 for a long time! With the upgrade, I need some new FX lenses; I already have a 50 1.8 and a 300 f/4 so I'm just after a nice wide angle. Ideally I'd grab a Nikon 24-70 2.8 but until I save up a little further that's outside...

I get the feeling that 420mm will not be long enough...

Do you generally find this long enough for average birds and deer etc? Also, how different is a 400mm to a 300mm?

Do you think that a Sigma 100-300mm f4 with a 1.4x woul be long enough? My other option is the old Nikon 300 f4 with a 1.7x

Hi all, What lens do you find pulling out for small birds and shy wildlife? I'm just interested to know what focal length is needed for getting fairly close to small subjects when you don't have a hide etc. Thankyou!

The 1.3x crop is in addition to the automatic dx crop

I have considered the sigma, but it's not very fast and normally not very sharp, what's your experience with this?

Hi all, I'm planning on getting the sigma 100-300mm f4 used, and sticking a 1.4x tc on it. This will be used on a Nikon d7100 which has a 1.6x crop factor, and then a further 1.3x crop factor available , which would turn this set up to 'basically' a 250-800mm f5.6. Now, would this be ok for...

I'm considering budget telephoto lens options: - The Sigma 100-300mm f4 with 1.4x or 2x tc - The Sigma 150-500mm - The Nikon 300mm f4 (old) + 1.7x tc Anybody with experience please help!
