One should embrace the opportunity to improve his/her grammar and lexicon. After all, we're all here to help, but perhaps in different ways. Thanks for playing along, Tyym. :)

Saying you're all *but* convinced, in the English language, means you are everything *but* convinced that you're going to get it. You could say, "I'm convinced that I'm going D800." That would make...

Nikon already blessed him with a great camera and lens.

The VR and lens version can be tricky. Looks like you got it figured out! Now we just need to get Nikon to get on board, too!

According to Nikon, the manual or product description on Nikon USA's page should state it. Here is an informative link from them on defining info on the...

Why do people compare these two lenses as if they are exactly the same? We haven't seen IQ tests of the Canon vs the Nikon, yet. To see someone get a +4 for assuming that the Canon and Nikon...

Nikon has stated that you cannot tell the VR version on the lens from looking at the lens. A lens may have VRII, but the VR II on the lens is no indication of it. VR II means it has VR and lens...

Dang. All those photos in just a few days? Very nice work. Looks like the lens is a keeper. Six pounds is easier to deal with than $6000 for the Nikon version - of course the Nikon version is...

You have to make many sacrifices with superzooms. I think there is a lens review on here of a Tamon superzoom. I definitely would not buy one, and would feel offended if someone recommended one to...

Maybe he's trolling as an undercover saboteur working for Canon!

85-105 is actually 20mm. :) Hope that helped.

Cattle are not "eco-mowers". If anything they are the opposite. On a national level they output huge quantities of Methane or CH4 (gas). http://www.epa.gov/rlep/faq.html [quote] 1. How much...

They both have their purposes and advantages/disadvantages. Saying one is always better is a generalization and therefore, flawed.

I responded to Jose, or at least I thought I did. I agree with your points.

No, there has been no prior 70-200 f/4, so it couldn't be called VRIII. The Roman numerals designate the version of the lens. VR designates it has VR, however it doesn't refer to what version of VR...

This thread is awesome. So how close does the II have to be to the VR for it to be VRII and not VR II? Would you say it's relative to the barrel of the lens? Or maybe perhaps if less than .5" it's...

The wing tips look like plastic on my monitor too.

I posted this in another post recently, but this was taken with my D300 and Tamron 70-300 @ 300mm. D300 ISO 1600 SS 1/250 F5.6 @ 300mm

What a load of unreadable nonsense. Did you keyboard come without a return key? Try SPACING out each point so it's readable without straining. Purely nonsense.

Here is a shot taken with my D300 and Tamron 70-300 @ 300mm D300 + Tamron 70-300 F5.6 ISO 1600 SS 1/1250" @ 300mm
