[QUOTE="stmv, post: 120447, member: 10038"] interesting trade-off , Nikon Quality build vs 3rd Party faster lens. The Nikon F4 has a strong rep for sharpness, and well, I know that I throw my telephoto shots away for lack of sharpness, So,, I think I would trade the faster light/lower build quality, and take the sharper image, less fast Nikkon lens. of the two vendor lens, I believe Tamron has the slightly better rep for sharpness. Also,, the Nikkor will hold its value for longer used.. you could buy the lens new for 1300 dollars or so,, and even 4 years later,, if you take care of it, sell for a 1000. even 8 years year,, and sell for 800-900 by my guess. Nikkor lens just hold their value. [/QUOTE]
