I'd love to get both of these:
Tamron 70-200 G2 f/2.8
Tamron 150-600 G2 f/5.6-6.3
However, the price (used) is around $1600 together. With winter coming up, I have little use for the 150-600 as of now.
I'm wondering if I should get them both or settle for a Tamron 70-200 and get a 2x teleconverter giving me 70-200 at f/2.8 and 140-400 at 5.6 (which is where 400mm on the Tamron 150-600 falls anyway) and only use the teleconverter if I want to reach beyond 200mm, of course. Then, save for the Tamron 150-600 and essentially have a range a couple of months later of 300-1200 if needed as well.
My thought process behind this is that I'm getting into portrait photography for maybe a couple extra bucks while I love zoom because I do aircraft photography too, which the 400mm might suffice.
Good plan for the lens+tele or just get the lens and save the extra money from the tele (like $300) to put towards the 150-600 earlier?
