However, the MTF charts indicate performance superior to that of the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G so, just for the sake of argument, let's say the Tamron edges out the Nikon on that front. What else are we looking at? Well, the Tamron has VC, the Nikon doesn't. The Tamron 85' has a 9-blade aperture, the Nikon version doesn't. The Tamron 85' has the electromagnetic aperture control, the Nikon version doesn't. The Tamron has USB functionality, the Nikon version doesn't. What the Nikon version does have is that delightfully "cheap" feel of injection molded plastic. Mmmmmm!!</blockquote>
