The Sigma 300-800mm would cost me about $8000CDN with taxes etc. while the Tamron 150-600 about $1500.

I will try a 1.4x converter which will give 840mm @ f/8 to see if things start to get mushy.

The Sigma has a lot going for it but is also an older design with no stabilization and weighs >5kg.

There is also the Vivitar 800mm Mirror Lens f/8 for Nikon at less than $300 and it has way less bulk <1kg.
