I think the bokeh is better on the Nikon, but after that its pretty much an even field, but that might be my memory slipping. I went with Nikon and i'm happy with that
Could've answered your own conundrum there then fella. I'm creamy bokeh fanboy i guess. If you're using an aps-c frame, the VR1 Nikon could be a consideration thoYou are 100% correct about that Jay, the rings do result in a more pronounced edge to them and don't melt into the background as smoothly as the Nikon lens do but I am not exactly what you call a Bokeh FanBoy.....LOL
