Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 S vs Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
Partly for fun - and partly to see if you get what you pay for - I wanted to compare two rather different telephoto zooms today. One of them is among Nikon's most coveted professional lenses, the Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 S; the other is a third-party optic that costs about...
Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E vs Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
One of the most popular types of telephoto lenses is the humble 70-300mm variable-aperture zoom. They're small, light, and cheap - and many of them still manage good image quality. It's anyone's guess why Nikon has taken so long to introduce one to their Z system. Instead, photographers who want...
