TBF your first one was faulty so I think we can let you off. Since launch Ive only been D750less for 2 weeks, Id say that isnt bad, gotta be a half decent little camera.
 
I am out of D750 ownership as well.....



... while I am in Belfast for two days. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]
 
Seen a tamron 150-600 for £550 it mint condition used of course with 12 month warranty

Strange that, saw one in Harrison's today and bought it as a back up for mine ;)
 
LoL yes it a good price but how does it perform. I know it be no where near the 70-200 2,8
 
Yup I know. Just thinking will it be nice to have for those zoo days or what ever. Bet it looks huge on the d750.

Does barrel extend?
 
That's is huge lol and that with barrel in

70-200mm clearly better, but the Tamron is really good and at £550 is a bargain (assuming it's mint as listed), lot of lens for the money. Might even get a bit more knocked off if you ask nicely ;) Tip on the Tamron (and Sigma C for that matter), don't go above 550mm and it's really sharp. The difference in reach between 550 and 600mm is virtually nothing.

Yes it's big and heavy (although a lot lighter than the Sigma S and Nikon 200-500) and yes the barrel extends. A kid at the one of the wildlife parks though I'd got a telescope attached to the camera :lol:
 
Why would you get that when you want a 70-200!?

Only 50mm overlap between the two...

You want a 'zoo' lens. Be prepared to carry it.

Guess I asked for that LOL.. really the 70-200 would be a great lens I would use it for a lot of things like portraits and the like.. Maybe get a TC for it for the extra reach when needed..

But that tamron is tempting cos the price is good. But would I want to carry that around the zoo arm not too sure now I have seen how large it is when extended hmmm

If you stick a 1.4x on the 70-200 youre still under 300mm. Long FF zoom = big

If 300mm is long enough just buy a Nikon 70-300 VR and crop a bit. I personally wouldnt waste £550 on a lens Id use going to the zoo once or twice a year, unless you work there!

Thanks twist I guess you right I think it more of a GAS since it cheap but then if I don't like it I would like to get back what i paid really.. I guess it more for the bird watchers the ones that flies in the air lol....

I could stick a 2.0x on the 70-200 but i believe it not very good and the 1.4 is the best out of the bunch..

I have always wanted the 70-200 and i will get one when i see one. would you suggest me to get a 70-300 just for the outings

Get the 70-300mm if you're worried about size :p

If youre getting the 70-200 2.8 and 1.4x anytime soon then no, otherwise for day trips its a decent smaller/light zoom IF 300mm + a crop is good enough for you. Im guessing you could crop up to 375-400mm in good conditions.
 
Anyone any hand on experience with this 70-300 then please as if i can get that cheap i be happy along with the 70-200 2.8 still torn between tamron and nikon for that

Yes to be honest the 70-200 2.8 is really my next lens i want to get.. I guess it GAS since i saw it on the used section lol

Ive used the 70-300 vr and Tamron 70-300 vc, both good, VR had a slight edge. For the money they are hard to beat for FX.
 
I took a sigma 70-200 F2.8 and 2x TC when I went on Safari, you lose a bit of IQ with the 2x, but the images are good enough for me.

Yes, I started out with the 70-300mm, it is good but still lacks reach for wildlife parks. At YWP it was fine for the Lemurs, squirrel monkeys etc, but for the Tigers (even if they came close to the boardwalk), Lions, Polar Bears etc I had to crop heavily and even then I wasn't as close as I'd like. I haven't been to the YWP since getting the Tamron but for Chestnut Owl and Otter Sanctuary and the Tropical Butterfly and Wildlife Centre the extra reach of the Tammy was a godsend. Also, certain parts of the park at Howletts and Port Lympne I really needed the reach of the Tammy. I'll post examples later when I'm back on the computer.

I was disappointed with the 2xTC III when I tried it tbh.
