[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 265523, member: 8705"] Having posted on Nikonites the other day that there is nothing that I want or need at the moment I'm now after a macro. It's been an itch for a while so it needs scratching and I've just received £260 of Nikon cashback that needs spending. My wife already has the original non VC version of the Tamron which is very good, so much so that the easy option would have been to just get the VC version, however two things are leaning me towards the Nikon. Firstly I want to use it on the D800 rather than DX body so the extra reach is a consideration. Secondly I have the TC-20e III teleconvertor. I can currently only use it on my 70-200 lens so this would make me feel that it does more than one job. I would also like to think the lens would be useful for portraiture. I actually think the Tamron has the edge here. If I buy new the Nikon is £230 more than the Tamron and if I buy a mint used one I can get it for about £90 more than the Tamron. Oh decisions!!
