[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 388387, member: 24569"] The Nikon lens and TC are a tad sharper, but the Tamron is no slouch. I can get very sharp results with it. I'm spending most of my time using the Tamron for its extra reach and the convenience of the zoom. It has VC, Tamron's version of VR, which is also a nice plus. I just wish the Tamron focused closer and weighed a little less. But, hey, it's got to be the lightest 600mm lens on the market, and it's very reasonably priced. The 1.4 TC does make the Nikon 300MM f/4 [I]slightly[/I] less sharp. By itself, the 300 is a SUPER sharp lens, and at f/4 it's pretty fast, too. If you don't need the extra reach, the 300 by itself is a fantastic lens. I'm not saying the 300 with TC is not sharp, it is. It's just not quite the super sharp prime lens from heaven sharp that the 300 is by itself. :) There, I've made things clear as mud. One thing I think I can say is that I think most people would be quite satisfied with either of these lenses. [/QUOTE]
