Looks to me like Nikon is the loser. But when they test all the lenses on the sharpness test they used a Sony camera. So which lens did you think would come out best???? I'll give you 10 guesses.

Matt Granger did not pick an absolute winner. But it's apparent the one he likes most. He had respect for the Tamron 24-70mm too, recommending it as a professional level lens.

No. Only quoting what Matt Granger said about the Tamron. You could tell he really favored the Nikon when he kissed that lens in the beginning video.

Hmmh!, Sounds to me like Sony won. Makes feel good that I sold all my other gear and went to Sony only. Just sayin'.

It would have been interesting if the Nikon lens had been used with a Nikon body.
