I have a Nikon D5000 with a Nikon 70-300VR, i am looking to go a bit further in zoom terms. I have been recommended 3 lens: Sigma 50-500 os Dg: Sigma 150-500 OS DG: Nikon AFS Nikkor 300mm f4d if-ed with a Nikon Teleconvertor Tc 14E11. Any body have any experience or recommendations of any of these lens or any other lens which would be suitable. I use the lens i have mainly for birds in flight and the odd static. All comments and advice very welcome.
 
Anyone have any suggestions or comments on these lenses, please.
 
As nobody has answered, though there have been a few similar threads in the past...

First, having longer primes, I don't have any of these.

Having said that, if it were me and I didn't have a really good reason to need the zoom, I'd go for the 300/4 an TC. The 300/4 is widely regarded as a great lens, apart from some moans about the tripod mount, and seems to work very well with the 1.4TC.

If you need something over 300mm, having 50- or 150- isn't going to help.
