[QUOTE="Silverback, post: 649317, member: 43255"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]As far as I can tell I want the size and weight of the Nikon but am having a hard time giving up (maybe more accurately, would really use) the 400mm and weather sealing of the Tamron. It doesn't help that I would argue that most of the pics that I screw up are motion blur and that the Tamron is longer, heavier and the VC is only rated good for 2.5 stops vs Nikon's 4 stops. The Tamron would only be better when shooting wildlife, the Nikon would be better most the rest of the time I use the camera, and I'm not sure either would be better with a more dedicated lens. Right now I feel like my choice is a more practical lens and just figure I will miss some shots with it not having the focal length (nikon) vs a lens that in theory should capture everything the other will and more but I won't be as happy to carry around and will more likely show off my errors (Tamron). All that said, I wished I had the Tamron 18-400 last night trying to get a pic of the full moon last night, had to do a lot of cropping to see any detail with the 18-270: [/FONT][/COLOR][CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]274064._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
