Nikon 70-300 or alternatives (FX)

Thanks for this. Strange about your Nikon, are you sure you had the VR version as mine had nice pop?

As for the compacts it had to be pocketable, the LX100 is a bit bulky in comparison.

Java again!

Of course it was the Nikon VR version, you think I'm as dull as you............ IIRC I paid £429.00 for it at the time from my local dealer and the Tamron was about £279.00 roughly at the time which is about 4 years ago.

Thought the LX100 may have been to big and your reason not choosing it. Clare didn't like the D3300 so looking for something else, may go for the LX or the new GX80.


ETA: Just checked Flickr and this is a photo from the Nikon VR model if I have read the EXIF correctly (G lens).

I was only pulling your leg about the VR lens but forgot to put an emoji

Both are G lenses though I believe.
