[QUOTE="Rivergoat, post: 677601, member: 44814"] Thanks for the reviews; I've had the same questions. I spend the summer months out at the race track in Monterey CA shooting the motorcycle and car races. Been looking toward a 70-200 for my D500. In the interim I bought an open box 70-300 Nikon VR. It does nice work, but I expect better images with either the Nikon or Tamron. Plus, I've paid attention to my 70-300 focal length out there. I am not often above 200mm anyway (or I can get some nice crops off the finished RAW images). Met a fellow photog last weekend who has been attending races there for 50 years; he presently has a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 he bought years ago. I certainly don't mind having a real Nikon, but for the money I also like getting a new lens, and if the Tamron rates that well, probably will save for that one.
