Re: 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D vs. 70-200 f/4 vs. Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 VC In reply to Josh Jones • Oct 5, 2013 Thank you for the reply, there seems to be a lot of love for the 80-200.
The one I am interested EF 70-200L/4.0 IS II vs 70-200 GM @200mm/F4.0 in TDP test. 70-200 GM is known has copy variation, and I am not a big fan of studio test in close distance on resolution chart but prefer outdoor test from distance to be more resemble in real-world usage. So just for reference.But if you’re photographing small birds that are 10-15 meters away from you or greater (30+ feet), 800mm will be ideal. Whereas 400mm and 600mm lenses work better for general wildlife photography outings. NIKON Z 9 + NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S @ 800mm, ISO 6400, 1/500, f/6.3. NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S @ 800mm, ISO 1800, 1/3200, f/6.3. SteveCooper wrote: I can't comment on the new Sigma or the new Nikon. I CAN tell you that I've had older versions of the 70-200 f/2.8 from Sigma and Tamron, and I finally was able to purchase a used Nikon VRII version and it exceeded my expectations. . 79 257 151 49 227 239 176 93 82
