[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 605374, member: 27043"] I tried a couple of different loaner copies of the tamron non vc, had af issues on all three copies I tried. The sigma 70-200 non os wasn't a bad lens, but the color contrast wasn't that great and it wasn't anywhere near as sharp as the nikkor. I could get acceptable results but it usually required more post processing and corrections. The sigma 70-200 with os was a bit sharper than the non os version, and contrast was a smidge better, but at least on my copy the os sucked. It would not disengage properly when not needed and would result in missed shots if I forgot to turn it off at higher shutter speeds. It also drained the batteries a lot faster. The nikkor VR I was just a night and day difference. The pictures were amazingly sharp and detailed and the contrast is first rate. The VR system seems to work for me rather than against me. So yes, all in all I do highly recommend you spend the extra for the nikkor if at all possible, or see about getting the tamron with vc. Sent from my N9518 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
