Sigma or Tamron

[Bonesplitter]

I shoot a D7000 and have read the AF on the sigma is better with older bodies like the D7000. I'm looking at the Sigma or Tamron 150-600. Any suggestions? I see great photos posted from both manufacturers was just hoping for a little guidance from our local photography gurus! Thanks. Houston camera exchange has 2 Sigma in stock right now...

I haven't held the Tamron but there are some good reviews out there.. Check out Tony Northrups review on youtube..

I'd not trade my Sigmas.. I did post some new photos on my thread a few minutes ago..

Looks like it depends on who you ask. I've got a Sigma 70 - 200 APO. I use my Canon zoom that is a little slower, but 1/4 of the weight.
See if you can try one from some one before you spend the money.

I did a lot of research before landing on the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary. They're both great lenses but the forums I read indicated the Sigma to be a bit better. This was by folks that tested both.
