It's not very hard to get a 35mm into focus but a 300mm, especially at lower apertures, can be tricky. Add to that a focus "variation" in all lenses and the inability to fine-tune on a D3300 and you get a higher miss-rate than you'd get with a 35mm prime. Also, all these lenses focus at a different aperture which makes some slower than others.When I used the Tamron 150-600mm on the D3300, I couldn't get any shot in focus. The lens' focus just didn't jibe with my D3300 and I could not do anything to correct that.To add: better lenses do result into better photographs (given all other factors remain identical). If I use my Nikon 300mm or my Tamron 150-600mm@300, the differences are noticeable. Not only image quality but also its focus hit-rate.</blockquote>
