Guys,
After asking 300 questions about 180/2.8, i went ahead and bought it. I am loving it, the DOF play that i primarily bought it for.
However, i realize that its not a lens that can just stay on the camera all the time even outdoors. So i'm considering a zoom lens in 70-200-300 range.
Looking at the tests of above mentioned lenses, yes the Nikon is better than Tamron. But how much better? Is the difference that's shown is SIGNIFICANT? Tamron achieves excellent center and very good borders from 70-200...and so does Nikkor, but slightly better....
I don't want to splurge money on this one, and if the Tamron is just marginally inferior, i should go with that. I will purchase a crop body to marry it with because i don't want to change lenses all the time.
I also have a Panasonic 100-300 on my OMD, which i used recently for wildlife and i find it very useful. It is 70-200 range that i don't have any lens for, and that's what i'm looking for.
Any free advice?
A bit confused actually.
