Now, please could somebody (no, Brightcolours, this question is not for you, sorry) tell me if I should stay with the already ordered Sigma 150-600 Sports or give this 300/4 PF E a go? What? "Get both, you fool!" - that'd be coward's advice, sorry... Do I benefit more of variable FL or lightweight?
It's hard to answer if you don't tell us some constraints of the problem. Assuming that the IQ is similar, I'd drill the thing down to this trade off: versatility vs weigh. Clearly the Sigma is much more versatile, and the Nikkor is much lighter. For me, having back problems, weigh is the primary constraint, so I'd go with the Nikkor.
