[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 479293, member: 13090"] Well the big difference is the presence, or lack of, "VC", Vibration Control; it's the Tamron equivalent of Nikon's VR and Tamron's VC is really, really good. Nikon's VRII is probably as good but VRI I'm a little less impressed with. The other possibly "Big Thing" is that the macro version of this lens does NOT have an internal focus motor (that's the USD, UltraSonic Drive (or something like that)); no big deal if you're shooting a body with an internal AF motor but for those who are not that's probably a factor. Both lenses are "IF" (internal focus) so I'm not sure why one gets the IF designation and the other doesn't. The latter, obviously, also does 1:1 macro focusing while the VC version does not. In my limited experience with the Macro version, the AF is noticeably slower and the lens is also noiser. IQ is very, very good however on the Macro version and simply [I]superb[/I] on the VC version. Hope that helps! [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
