[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 213359, member: 12257"] For a long zoom like that, you WILL want the Nikon with the VR (Vibration Reduction) to help keep a steady shot, compensate for hand shake,and avoid blur, unless you're on a very steady tripod for all of your shots. The same feature on a Tamron is labelled as VC (Vibration Compensation), which it doesn't appear is on the Tamron lens you listed. I think the reason the Tamron is a bit more expensive is because of the Macro function, which will allow you to focus on subjects from a bit closer than normal, although only on focal lengths of 180mm or more. Depends on what you're wanting to shoot? Mostly macros - go for the Tamron and use a tripod. Anything else? Get the VR Nikon. Of course, that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
