As I see it, I've two options for a telephoto zoom within my budget.
I can either comfortably afford a Nikkor 70-300 VR, or at a real stretch I could get a Sigma 100-300 f/4.
Is there any reason at all to go with the Nikkor? Bear in mind that I'll only be using a tripod maybe 30% of the time, and really want a hand-holdable lens. I've played briefly with the siggy in a shop and *think* it's hand-holdable.
I know the standard line is buy the best lens you can afford for each application, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using the 100-300 hand-held?
