[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 597782, member: 13248"] I have the Tamron "G1" and am facing the same choice. Having shot with the G1 quite a bit, the biggest thing I'm looking for is IQ wide open. I thought my shots with the Tamron were okay, but after reading a bunch of owners complaining about it being soft wide open and also hazy at 600mm, I've looked through most of the shots I've taken and can agree. Nikon is currently in the top spot on my list, mostly because the IQ is very good at f5.6, whereas the Tamron (both of them) requires stopping down to come close to what the Nikon delivers. Then again, the Nikon also doesn't have the extra 50mm on the short end & 100mm on the long end like the Tamron. Still looking and debating myself, but as I mentioned, the Nikon is the top runner for my needs. I almost didn't even consider the Nikon because a few people have said the AF is slow. But, a ton of birders are saying the AF is no slower than the G1, which has been perfectly fine for me. All I can say is good luck reaching a decision! [/QUOTE]
