[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 462593, member: 24569"] Hi Elliot, I have both the Tamron 150-600 and the older Nikon [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Arial]AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED with an older Nikon 1.4x teleconvertoer. The 300mm with teleconverter is sharper than the Tamron at 420mm, and also sharper cropped to the same image size as the Tamron at 600mm. This is on both my D7100 and D7200. The difference is not huge, but it is [/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif normal][SIZE=2][COLOR=#454545]noticeable. Focus just a little slower with the Tamron on either of these bodies, and is a little less accurate. I notice this with birds in flight. The Tamron is more versatile because of the zoom, so that is a consideration as well. I have missed wildlife shots with the 300+1.4x when the subject is too close. This is rare, but it can happen. If I had to choose between these two, I'd go with the Nikon 300 + 1.4x. I'm glad I don't have to choose and can keep both, though! :) [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
