I'm not big on technicalities. I go for the subject. And the flamingo is stunning. I prefer all those bird shots.

I have a Tamron 18 - 300 for my Fuji and it's a good lens.

In reply to Anne Sandler.I would have been fine with the Sigma if the Nikon wasn't available. My only other D500 lens is a Tamron 16-300 mm.

I'm glad you're happy with your purchase. I have a Sigma I bought used for my Nikon 7100 and it's a great lens. Most of my lenses for that camera were used when I bought them. However, there aren't many used Fuji lenses out there.

In reply to philosophy through photography.Thanks, Philo! Even at the extra cost, it seems future issues are best served by a Nikon lens. I don't plan to change brands in future camera purchases.
