Hi!
So today I went to the camera store to test out tamron 150-600 and nikon 200-500
I concluded to take the nikon, because I just felt that the tamrons have issues with VR, it just 'twitches' when I look, I don't know, its weird!.
Anyway, this is not what I wanted to talk about, I took for fun a picture with my Tamron 16-300 and compared the 300mm with the nikon 200-500 at 300mm. Now, put sharpness and blur on the side, because its obvious who is the winner, but just look at the difference of the picture!
This is the Nikon AT 300 VS Tamron at 300
This is the Nikon at 200 VS tamron at 300
It looks like the Tamron isn't even close to 300mm! It's more like a Tamron 16-220 or something!
When I read many reviews and blogs about wildlife photography, I see many pictures posted at 300mm, and I'm thinking, how do they get so close to the wildlife? If I take one more step, they fly! But its clear that I'm not getting the same reach as they are with their 300mm!
Is this focus breathing? differences between FX and DX lens? or just Tamron lying?
