p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Can't decide..Nikon or Tamron 70-300 vr/vc??? | |
I am about to pull the trigger but can't decide which one is better. I need a more up to date longer zoom than my Nikon AF D 70-210. I have some money I can spend at the moment. Primary use would be some outdoor/indoor portrait shots and occasionally using it for cycling race photography and maybe for bird photography. On a D7000 body, at 300mm, I should get some good, effective FOV focal length to capture some song birds. So, AF speed and accuracy are important. I know both lenses have a relatively good, equal IQ. The Tamron is supposed to have a slower AF motor.
Planning to get an used copy and the used price is the same for both lenses. One important thing is that I need the VC or VR to be activated using the back button. I know with the Sigma OS system, at least with my 17-50 2.8, the OS won't engage unless I use the half pressed shutter button. I know the Nikon VR would engage using the AF back button. What about the Tamron VC? Is it like the Sigma OS system?
