Hi all, I've started birding since last year with a AF-S 300mm F4 and D7K body, so far I'm happy with the output.
Right now I'm thinking to get a 70-200 either VR I or Sigma 70-200 OS (sold a Sigma HSM II last time) for those nearer shot, sometime 300mm is too tight lol, and maybe some portrait shoot.
I've done review for both lens, both are ok to me, I'm not really fussy about IQ (so long it's decently sharp at 2.8)
So right now my question is;
Is it worth it to get a Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VR I or Sigma 70-200 OS from BnS
I can see that 70-200 VR I is still selling around 1.5-1.7 and Sigma is around 1100-1250 so is it really worth it?
1 of my worry is I believe those Nikon70-200 vr I in BnS should have at least 3-4years old if not higher, I'm just afraid that the VR or SWM will fail me and it will cost a bomb to fix it (Anyone had any experience on this?)
And lastly do you think the Selling Price in BnS is good? (you can skip this if you mind sharing)
And I know the VR II is the best (but not consider in getting it as I might not use this much)
Thank you so much for your time.
