So.. you all are really good at what you do so I kind of hope you can answer this.
I really want the sony 200-600 but "disagreements" with the wife about the price has led me to look at the tamron 150-600 which is "half price" and probably even less frankly if I can find it used. My question to you all who have the godly 200-600 is "will I be disappointed?". I like the idea of the 200-600 because it has OSS, it has teleconverter support, and it has full FPS of my camera ability(a1). Also you know.. A1 + 200-600 = godly but I digress..
Also.. don't know if I'm allowed to ask this(sorry if I'm not don't ban hammer me please I'll gladly remove this if I'm not) does anyone know what the 200-600 goes with education discounts? I saw on slickdeals it at one time went down to like 1350-1450 and frankly that might be close enough to the mark if it ever drifts that low again.
Don't know much about the Tamron, but I know third party lenses can't get 20 FPS, let along 30 FPS. A used 200-600 here goes for about $1400-1500. I would personally grab a used 200-600 over the third party lenses anytime. Even at full price, I think the 200-600 is a steal.
