Really like the bug shot. Have you tried using the Sigma for some mid-range portraits? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with a 200-500 or the Sigma and make it double as a portrait lens -- I'd probably get more use out of it than the 200-500

Thanks Smitty I have used the Sigma 150 f/2.8 for mid range portraits and it is excellent. It is hard to compare as I have both the 105E and 70-200E which cover this range and these 2 lenses would be my first choice. I have attached a portrait recently taken with the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro and another shot in low light this evening @ ISO 25600.
I am very tempted to go for the 200-500 too as I have tested the lens in store and it is so much fun In Australia this lens is so popular.

Charles,
Great sets with sigma 150 macro. They are beautiful. The last one caught my eyes for the composition, lighting and tonality.
Charles, Smittty,
200-500 was the final runner among 300/4 pf when I was looking for long tele. I am happy with 300, but 200-500 is definitely an interesting lens. It is vey ‘new Nikon’ in a way for what it provides for the pricing, optical level and zoom range, like the New 70-300e I hope they realize the gold mine market they hit with this kind of approach. On the other hand, 180-400
with built in 1.4 tc , while sounds great, the pricing is rather offensive. Ironically, 300/4 pf sort of belongs to this crowd. That was the biggest annoyance which made the decision making very hard.
I am very curious to see what you guys would do with 200-500.

Thank you very much Luka Too many choices. Personally I would love to have the 300pf just for the size and weight alone.

Thanks for the feedback Luka and Charles. You know Charles I realized this morning when I asked you about the Sigma, I had temporarily forgotten about the 105/1.4!!!! Then i realized the 150mm I wouldn't be happy with as a portrait, so I think I'll save the pennies for the 105mm and the 200-500.
I've looked at the 300mm and it looks great certainly, and that's been one big consideration is to whether get the 300 PF and a 1.4x or the 200-500.
I like to hike (when I get a chance, which seems more rare these days) and I can't imagine lugging the 200-500 very far.

I agree Smitty. Having a dedicated Sigma 150mm FOV for portraits is too limiting. The 300PF weighs 755 gms so it is a great choice for hiking with the tele converter 1.4x.

I just realized I haven't posted in a really long time (an image at least) -- Life's busy and cold 
Apologies if this is a repeat! I can't even remember :)

This looks like it could be a great lens. Please share some more images from the 35f2

I do miss the warm weather. We actually had above average temps today here in Wisconsin. I think we got up to 43 degrees which felt quite mild.
The 35/2 has nice colors!
Best Wishes,
Don

This particular street is SO WIDE that just about everyone can post just about anything... only marginally less than saying "post a photo taken with any camera and any lens..." But then I'm not above posting when I have an image I like and time on my hands. This is a four photo panorama shot with the Df... a full frame Nikon camera... and a 135 f/2.8 K AI, a Nikon lens made when the ONLY cameras available were full frame Nikon cameras...
