It's the "if I only had one lens" lens for me. Sure, it's got a shorter reach than the 70-300, but you make up for that in jaw dropping image quality that you don't get from the 70-300mm (in my opinion). <br /><br /><br /><br />Ronronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-40830877853393365512018-02-26T12:11:12.006-08:002018-02-26T12:11:12.006-08:00Hi Ron,

Your blog has been incredibly useful in my decision making and as a result I've scrapped my plans to get a Canon 7D Mk II and am planning to buy the D750. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on a lens (or lenses) that would be good entry point for wildlife photography. Not talking about telephoto lens for something 400 meters away, but a decent zoom up into the trees and still snap a sharp photo. That being said, I'm also looking for a good midrange lens good for portraits/other close ups. Do you think there's a single lens I can buy right now that could accomplish both these tasks or would it be better to buy two lenses? Hoping to keep it relatively cheap... Thinking about the NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G lens right now curious what your thoughts are. Thanks for making this blog! Very informative :)<br /><br />Best,<br />Bryan Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956615067099741835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-28962595969613202462016-09-25T23:43:33.270-07:002016-09-25T23:43:33.270-07:00Shawn,

I know this causes my bar to be higher than average as a result. I wouldn't say it's a terrible lens, but I have used better. I know my friend Vincent Versace loves it and he's making some great work with it, so if you like the results you see here then you'll definitely be happy with this lens.<br /><br />Ronronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-49344011344485799442016-09-25T16:40:29.498-07:002016-09-25T16:40:29.498-07:00Great review.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on the 24-120 lens and I can understand the hesitation. Thing is I am pretty sure that the excellent resolving power of the sensor is going to allow you to bury any lens issues deep inside your prints. My guess is we won't see them until we start printing at 24"x36".<br /><br />The other thing I've noticed about the 24-120 is there are definitely some bad copies out there. For every lousy review or negative comment I seem to find 2-3 glowing reviews or comments.<br /><br />The challenge for folks like me is moving to FX leads to needing a new standard zoom, and none of the good options are cheap and what is cheap isn't that great (either sharpness or limited focal length). I'm eyeing the Sigma 24-105 as I believe this is what Nikon should have designed in the first place, but it is actually more expensive now than the 24-120 when kitted with the D750. The more I read and see from the 24-120, the more I feel it will perform well enough.

Just go to bhphoto and compare to compare technical features of the two cameras side by side. Aside from other aspects I wonder about focus tracking and ergonomics and what tactics (price another camera model) Canon will pull to respond.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990027512925870299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-23820986735138529352015-08-25T00:32:16.207-07:002015-08-25T00:32:16.207-07:00Hi Ron,

I haven't compared the Tamron to the Nikon so it isn't fair for me to comment as to which is better than the other, but if I were spending my own money I'd go for the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II. This is just one of those money lenses that performs well and gets the shot time and time again, so I can't see you being disappointed with your decision after you get it. With a lot more user data, I see that the Nikon has a higher reader rating than the Tamron on SLRGear.com, which is a lens site that I trust. <br /><br />In this particular case, YES I think the Nikon is definitely worth the high cost. If you feel like you need to save the money, then get the f/4 as it's arguably just as sharp and lighter.<br /><br />Ronronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-26504398935735554852015-08-24T01:51:19.376-07:002015-08-24T01:51:19.376-07:00Hi Ron, now I am even a little stuck between some ...Hi Ron, now I am even a little stuck between some good Sports & Landscape Tele 70-200 F2,8... While lots of Tests say the Tamron with VC is nearly equal or even better in some points, the Nikon is the original one and slightly better... Now I'm not sure about them, Tamron is nearly half the cost of Nikon, but would the Nikon be worth the high cost?<br />Demme91https://www.blogger.com/profile/05473716171813106041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-37201745588832763872015-08-19T00:15:02.316-07:002015-08-19T00:15:02.316-07:00Prudhivi,

If I were buying based on camera body performance, I'd choose the D750.<br /><br />Demme91,<br /><br />THe AF accuracy is very good - the speed depends on the lens, and that's something Canon is much better at than Nikon. With that said, the accuracy is much better with Nikon at this point in time so you'll be very happy with the AF performance of the D750.
