[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 126398, member: 8705"] But the 70-200 has VR. I have one of these lenses and it is fantastic. Anytime I get a bad picture from it I berate the photographer as it doesn't make mistakes :-). Seriously though, something is wrong if you're getting better results with the Tamron. My wife has the Nikon 70-300 and whilst its a fine lens it's not comparable to thev70-200. I've just mated mine with the 2x teleconvertor and it's pretty good although my approach with that is F8 1/800 or greater and no VR. One thing I would say is that I didn't like the AF on the D600 after my D300s, so much so that I replaced it with the D800. That said the problem would be worse with the slower Tamron. I'm not knocking the D600 it was just a personal experience. On thing you will notice is everything is much brighter in the viewfinder on a 2.8 and you can really see the effect of VR as it kicks in.
