[QUOTE="Ad B, post: 681534, member: 37491"] Hi, I would save money and buy a non Nikon... I had a Tamron "G1" version at my D750 and later my D850. Fine tuning with my D850 went quite well, but it was a compromise. It was sharp at 24, 35 50 mm but not quite tack sharp at 70 mm. If I tuned it that it was sharp at 70 mm, it wasn't at 24 and 35 mm. I didn't have that problem with the D750. A comparison with the Tamron "G1" lens and a Nikon 24-70 non VR resulted that the Nikon wasn't sharper, but it's AF was faster. 6 months ago I bought the Tamron G2 version. With Tamrons docking station, I could fine tune this lens perfectly. AF Fine tuning at 12 (!!) places in the lens. At 4 focal lengths and at 3 object distances. In a comparison with my friends Nikon 24-70 non VR lens and my new G2 version, my new Tammy was the winner... Sharpness is perfect now and it's faster as the "G1" version of Tamron, I think at least as fast the Non VR Nikon if not faster. The Tamron lenses are smaller as the Nikon versions. The Nikon 24-70 lenses extends less as the Tamron 24-70 lenses. I don't now how Sigma 24-70 lenses or Tokina 24-70 is in sharpness and speed. Which is the best 24-70 to buy? It's a personal thing, I think you can't go wrong. Both Tammy's and Nikon's are very good (Sigma and Tokina maybe too...). I hate to pay too much for something, I'm not a "pure" Nikon fan. The Nikon VR cost more as twice as much as a Tamron G2 version... My wife and I could go on a nice holiday for a week, for that price difference... What do you think my wife was saying...?? This was the psychological approach ... Tell your wife, the Tamron lens cost about €1200,-, the Nikon version cost €2500,-... After that, you say to her you don't know for sure which to buy... She will be happy if you buy the Tamron and go both for a holiday to a nice warmer spot in winter time... :loyal: :encouragement: :o (We went to Sevilla, Spain for a week...)
