On a recent cruise I met a fellow photographer who had the Sigma 50-500. He invited me to try it out on my Nikon D600 and I was amazed how good it was. Returning home, I looked at what else was on the market and struck on the 150-500. Having an excellent Nikon 70-200 f2.8 I didn't need something to cover the closer distances.
I am delighted with the results. Yes, it's a compromise but the professional fixed focus F4s are astronomically expensive and therefore this represents great value. And don't take just my word for it but do your research as I did and you will find this lens is highly regarded

At last a bargain from Nikon
This lens is a peach for the money. Don't take just my word but read the reviews - including the unique Ken Rockwell www.kenrockwell.com. You will not be disappointed
Hornby R3810 L&MR, Stephenson's Rocket Train Pack - Era 1

Absolutely brilliant model
Little wonder it was voted best new model in 2020. I have both versions and my hope is that Hornby will add other models to Era 1 next year. Lion perhaps
