Many lenses are like that. Probably not too many users for R&D to be worth it.

I guess Pentax need to increase their market share, hopefully Ricoh will have a positive impact.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. More players is a benefit to all customers as it increases competition.

Hello,


I bought an Nikon D3100 ( with 18-55 mm kit lens ), which I assume is good enough for my skills.


I want to take some wildlife photos and I was looking at Nikon AF-S 70-300 VR but I have read your review and I'm considering the Tamron also. The price is much better for Tamron, ~310 EURO ( new, 5 years warranty ) instead of ~530 EURO for Nikon AF-S 70-300  VR.


I don't have enough experience and my concern is "the very solid viewfinder image"  that  you mention in the review, is an issue when taking pictures of birds or chamois ?

 

Thank you

 

 

P.S.

I hope my English was good enough.

Well, it's something that one needs to get used to. However, it's only really an issue when you try to adjust the composition just a little (and the VC tries to compensate for that).

If the time or subject allows, the easiest approach is to either move away a little more and then aim again, or to release the shutter button. After a short while, the VC will stop working and one can start from scratch again.

I guess I can handle that.

Thank you.
