[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 157073, member: 12948"] Curious AC016, what was the driving factor in picking up the Tamron. I have the Nikon and haven't heard anything negative about it. Not wanting to debate which is better, but why did you decide on it. I have been thinking about looking at some of the non-Nikon brands and was curious and I am sure it would help the original post owner here as well. I have the 70-300 VR, its a great lens and has served me for a long time. I did decide to cut my long range a bit and get a better lens and now use a 70-200 f/4 which is great. I shoot primarily youth sports and just not getting into portrait type shooting so I really dont need the extra length all the time. I did use the 70-300 more in football but not baseball and wrestling, just dont need that long of a lens. I dont think you can go wrong with either lens, but I would see if you can get your hands on both and see how they feel. [/QUOTE]
