A once (so far) of a life time opportunity to spend sixteen straight minutes with a preening male Northern Flicker !

I was "almost" glad when he flew away, he, he...



Cheers, Don

I find the bokeh of the 200-500VR to be quite pleasant as well...

Here's another shot captured with the Nikon 200-500 VR, at a relatively high ISO of 1800, demonstrating its ability to resolve fine detail, as well as isolate the subject with a pleasant bokeh...

Since you asked

I looked long and hard at both options before purchasing the Sigma S 3 years ago. my conclusion:
150mm vs 200mm
600mm vs 500mm
better build quality-my stuff can get knocked around
quicker to focus (per reports) I've never used the 200-500. I'm happy with Sigma speed

negatives
I wish it was 5.6 instead of 6.3
From reports I assume 200-500 has better VR. I rarely use the OS. primarily tripod shooter
For the rare times It's not on a tripod I'd prefer less weight, of course

The only lens right now I could see replacing my Sigma would be the Sony 200-600 and that would be solely based on the internal zoom. I hate the extended zoom of the Nikon and the Sigma. But I've never used a Sony body and although I've considered it not sure I want to switch systems.

I have the Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3 G1. If things come out looking bad it is probably my fault. I really can't fault it.

I love the 200-500, it is super sharp wide open, one of Nikon's best ever bargain lenses. Here is a picture of not a bird if you can believe it is even possible:

I did. Went from a Tamron G1 150-600/7D combo that I enjoyed for 5 years to a G2/7dMkii combo. I wasn't impressed.

I had been looking hard at the Nikon D500 for a while, so I took the plunge and now use the D500/200-500 combo and I'm quite pleased.
