Hi,
would like to ask.. is it better to get a nikon 70-300 or get a sigma/tamron 70-200 f2.8 den later add on a TC?

Depends what you are shooting. Do you need the f2.8? And is the extra reach necessary? Teleconverters degrades image quality and is costly. I'm pretty sure you're on a tight budget.
Needed for low light and image quality:
Sigma 70-200mm f2.8
Nikon 70-200 f2.8
Needed for the extra focal length reach:
Nikon 70-300mm
Nikon 80-400mm
Sigma 150-500mm

would like to have better image quality and also increase the focal length when needed..
as when so far.. when i am shooting, i feel that the current 55-200 that i have is still not close up enough...

Just get the 70-300 if u need more close up.
Fudgecakes said:I thought he's using a crop sensor? Then won't the 70-200 be 105-300?
luckyorange said:I'm saying the focal length, if x 1.5 both also 300?
So 70-300, at 300mm x 1.5 = 450? If I'm not wrong? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you think 55-200 is not close enough, and the 70-200 also 200 just that its 2.8,

TonyOng said:so u think 70-200 with tc is not as good as 70-300?
Can't say. Is iq important to you? Or is the aperture more impt? The 70-300 is no doubt the cheapest as the 70-200 may cost u 2k for local set with OS, 1500 withou Os. And not counting a TC that supports AF. A 70-300 costs only around 800 dollars
TonyOng said:ohh.. sigma one got so ex ar? looks like only can go for 70-300 then..
