I am done with third party lenses on Nikon DSLR bodies. Had an 18-270 Tammy that was not as dependable as my Nikon 18-200 DX VR. Had a 150-600 Tammy that gave me acceptable shots maybe 1/3 of the time, that lens used to wander for me for focus lock even under near ideal conditions. And when it would lock, I got way too many soft shots. Got a Tammy 24-70 G2 for my D850, returned it to B&H after around a week of testing; once again had focus lock challenges. For the kind of cash some of those lenses cost, I expect them to deliver right out of the box. That's not to say all Nikon lenses are stellar; my 24-70 f/2.8 is my second version, the original was returned to Adorama.

Every lens manufacture has lemons .... some more, some less, even Nikon!

Took this with my Tamron 70-200 G2 2.8 on my Nikon D810. Very Nice lens as all Tamrons G2 versions. I also have the 15-30 and 24-70.


Excellent Shot!

The high end line of lens from Tamron, being half the cost with comparable if not better quality and performance, is most certainly giving Nikon a run for the money and a 6 year warranty ..... IMHO!

I went ahead an bought the Tamron 70-200 2.8 Di VC USD lens. Mounted to my D810 this setup is on the heavy side. Photos are super sharp. The only thing I noticed is when turning the zoom ring from 200 back to 70 it is slightly stiffer than going from 70-200. The sales guy showed me a $2100 Nikon 80-200 2.8 VRII which did the same thing, only worse. I was told this is normal and will get easier with use, so I am happy. Matches well with the D810 36MP sensor. 6 year warranty to boot .........

I am looking to acquire an 70-200 2.8 lens and I was wanting to know if anyone has an experience with the Tamron 70-200 2.8 VC G2 lens. I have the Tamron 35mm 1.4 lens and I am most happy with it. Nikon is out of the question as I can not afford $2800. Lens will be used on a Nikon D810 camera.

Thanks to all who reply .........

It is still $5099.99 at Staples. They are all $500+ all the way to over $1000 all but 2 out of stock.

This is quickly becoming my stance. New QHD monitors are approaching the $500 mark and not being a gamer, hell I do not even own a game, staying with my FHD monitor is looking like a real good option.

I hate spending money for nothing, so I am going to run this question by all you knowledgeable people.

Currently I have an HP 27" FHD (1920x1080) monitor which I have used for 4 years to edit my photos
and have been satisfied with the performance. I was wondering if I upgraded to a 27" QHD ( 2560 x 1440)
monitor there would be an appreciable difference to justify the cost. A 34" monitor would be nice but not at
close to $1000.

My camera is the Nikon D810 36MP

As always, thank for any and all input!

I have a Tamron 45mm 1.8 lens with vibration control, like new in the box for Nikon.
Has been used only a few times, so I know if works perfectly.
Selling as I bought the Tamron 15-30 2.8, which also has vibration control and is more versatile.

Selling for $250 + $35 shipping. ( UPS has really cranked up their prices )
Lens currently sells for $599.

PM me if interested

Been ask, so for those who are curious, I paid $1500 for the Nikon D810.

I also wanted a battery grip but DAMN!, $426.95. Procam was selling off
their inventory of MB-D12 Battery Grips for $175. Needless to say, I bought
one and a spare battery. I called Procam and verified that this was a Genuine
Nikon MB-D12, new in the box, before I placed the order. It was ......... YES!

Wonderful camera, you will not regret the purchase.


I love the D810 so far .............

I find the images far clearer and the colors far brighter than the D750 ever produced.
