It is the non VR, screw driver AF. Both that and the Tamron have a lot of CA. Nikon Tamron You can see the CA at hard edges, the Tamron has more CA than the Nikon

Not on trees, but in the market!

For two years I have been using the Nikon 18-55 and 35mm DX, and rarely had problems with getting crisp images with them. In fact most of my bird images at 55mm are really crisp even after cropping them down to 800x800 pixes. I tried using the Nikon 70-300 AF with D3300, and could never get the...

Some shots with a borrowed Tamron 70-300

I shoot RAW and use NX-D. Active lighting in NX-D is extremely useful for bringing out shadow details. You also have "Shadow Protection" and "Highlight Protection" functions where you can use a slider to highlight shadows/reduce highlights. At times Active D light is better and at times Shadow...

This is a classical situation where you would benefit with HDR as the dynamic range between the highlights and the shadows is very high. I would use spot metering for the brightest portion without any exposure compensation. Then recovered shadows. There is enough light to use ISO 400 even 100...

For critical shots I use AF-S, single point, usually the centre AF point. AF-C misses a lot, especially in low light, multipoint focus modes seem to always focus at the wrong place. I have taken tons of indoor shots with 35mm at F1.8 and ISO 400, and rarely got them out of focus. Here are a few...
