Is the nikkor way ahead than the so called improved tamron? :thinking:
 
Actually a lot of test sites put the Nikon just a bit behind or at worst equal, so it's buy which you can get cheapest.
 
I tried both and walked out the store with the tamron mate..its a cracking lens!
The vc is amazing and its very well built.Bit larger than the nikon but I preferred its size.Image quality is very good and rivals maybe tops the nikon at certain focal lengths.Heres a link to a thread with some sample images.

I get along with my nikon 70-300 really well, but having never owned the Tamron, i can't really comment :eek:
 
I've not used the Nikon but did own the Tamron before trading it in for a 70-200 f2.8 beasty

The Tamron IQ is excellent and the VR locks onto it's subject like a dog with a bone. Allowing you to take photos at 300mm at some very low shutter speeds.

You could do a lot lot worse than get that. I was actually tempted to keep it just to use as a casual holiday lens but funds didn't allow that :crying:
