At f9 you only get the central focus point so useless for bif. Don't use the TC for bif. Only mirrorless changes this.

On my D7200 I use the current Tamron 10-24. Sharper than the Sigma

That was certainly what I believed at the time and why I bought it rather than an East European one.

I think this was what I had in mind, a camera good enough to do 'photography' with. My family had an old box brownie that was used to record family events etc but clearly didn't cut it for 'taking photos seriously'
