Thanks for the link Brightcolours!
Well that's that then!
The Tamron is sharper at the long end, pretty much equal everywhere else, it's loss of 1mm FL at the wide end is really it's only losing point though even that is compensated by it's extra reach, the VR is real boon and it's $600 cheaper. Flare and starbursts smoked the Nikon!
Luckily for us the "clumsy" Matt Granger has already done the drop tests and the Tamron even came up trumps in that department by still being functional, it was a "dustpan and brush" scenario for the two Nikons!
If ever there was a case to say... "are there any questions"? this is it!
