That particular model Tamron lens does not have VC.  However, The Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 mm VC lens does have that feature.  It covers roughly the same focal length so it has the benefit of the wider...

I don't know why all the commenters are only suggesting Nikon branded lenses, but the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is well-regarded and is cheaper than the Nikon equivalent f/2.8 lens. Here is a link if...

Good luck with that.  I doubt Nikon is going to be that generous.

I'd say your best bet is to get one of the older Sigma or Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8. You can then find a teleconverter for the balance of your $1,000 left over. That's pretty much the only way you're...

If you're not overly concerned by Nikon 1 series compatibility or resale value, I'd go for a used Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 VC lens.  I've had the Nikon and Tamron and the Tamron is actually sharper...

Yes, but there is no technical reason as to why it must be that way.  Nikon has it on some of their cheapest cameras, lightest, and most compact DSLR's.  So does Canon and Panasonic.  So we know...

As a fellow D800 owner with that exact same combo, you should skip the NEX 6 and go for either the RX100 or the RX100M2. Unless you get a better lens, the NEX 6 isn't going to get you noticeably...

I don't have the 85mm f/1.8.  I used to, but now I have the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 and after the latest Nikon firmware update, the Sigma lens no longer works on the V1 + FT-1 combo so now I'm considering...

I don't know if you'd consider this inexpensive, but you'll get incredible bang for the buck with the following configuration: 1.  Nikon V1 - $200 2.  Nikon FT-1 Adapter - $150 3.  Nikon 85mm f/1.8...

There is one thing the guy glossed over and it's that you do not have OSS.  Since image stabilization is built into the Sony Alpha bodies, they decided to forego that in the lenses.  So, if you...

I have the 35f18, but not the 50f18, so take what I am about to say with a grain of salt.  From what I have read on these forums, the 50f18 takes a bit longer to acquire focus than its 35mm...

I was under the impression that just about all the never Nikon bodies had usable AF center focus points at F8.  Specifically, I am referring to the D5200, D7100, D800, and D600.  I have had, or...

No, I don't own any Leica glass.  I do own about 4 native NEX lenses and I use 5 F-Mount (Nikon) lenses with an adapter.  Of course, I don't get autofocus, auto-aperture control (though I can...

If the Nikon V1 was my only camera, then the answer is "yes."  In fact, I'd be looking to jump ship as soon as something really promising came out.  However, since I use it for long-range...

Neither is perfect for you, but they're really your only options so it's a bit of a crap shoot.  I have both and I find the Sigma 30mm f/2.8 focuses faster and more reliably.  The Sigma 35mm f/1/8...

The vast majority of lenses are not investments.  Investments entails a certain amount of risk and in exchange you could possibly see a return on said investment with the sum total of the initial...

You get pretty much nothing other than shutter release.  It has its narrowly-defined uses, but it could and should be so much more.  Sony would be remiss in not improving on a product that,...

I'd like to see an improvement in the pricing structure. It was absolute insanity for Nikon to price it as they did. Anyone who bought it at anything remotely approaching the full initial retail...

I don't see the 85mm f/1.4 as one of the supported lenses. That's disappointing to me personally since I have one of those lenses.
