[QUOTE="D200freak, post: 529899, member: 41018"] I have the Tamron 150-600, have tried the Nikon 200-500, and am budgeting to buy the Nikon. Why? Three reasons all in favor of the Nikon: More accurate autofocus (the Tamron gets lost easily), FASTER autofocus action, and better VR for the Nikon. It (to me) is clearly the better lens for sports oriented shooting. I do NOT see any difference in image quality, clarity, or contrast. The minor loss of range (out to 500mm instead of 600mm) has been found to be trivial in my opinion, not enough to sway my decision. That being said, I am in no way displeased with the Tamron. It's just that I see the Nikon lens to be better in ways that are important to me and relevant to my shooting preferences. [/QUOTE]
