Hello lovers of photography. My name is manny and I'am new here and I have a question for you all. I'am in the market for a 70-300mm lens . I had my mind made up on the Nikon 70-300mm VR for my Nikon D90.But ever since the Tamron 70-300mm VC lens came out now I have my doubts if the Nikon was or still is the best in IQ out there.Can anybody here give me some input on which should I buy ?

Welcome! I guess this is your first lens in this range and you want to give it a try? If you're concerned about IQ, there are better and more serious lenses out there. So, asking which 70-300 is better is like comparing which brand of instant noodles is better <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> So if I were you, I'd get the cheapest one to get a feel of it and then save my money so I can put it towards something better in a more specific focal length that I might like in that zoom range.
My recommendation is to go for the Nikon because it's a safe option (but I haven't checked any prices). I'd also consider buying a used lens because I won't feel bad when getting rid of it for a better one some day.
