[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 554889, member: 9240"] A couple things to tack onto this... 1. "Better" is what we are trying to establish, particularly whether or not a [I]slightly[/I] more expensive Nikon is "better" than the Tamron alternative. 2. "all other factors remain identical" cannot be used under any circumstances or with any real justification when comparing a consumer level zoom to a professional prime lens costing 6X as much. If there was any scenario where the Tamron outperformed it then you should be demanding your money back. And my statement holds even if you're comparing it to the 300mm f4 at 2X the price. A prime of equal or greater cost will [B][I]always[/I][/B] provide a better result to a zoom stuck at the same focal length. [/QUOTE]
