Depends which Nikon or Canon lens It's better than the Canon consumer zooms in this class on Canon bodies or adapted. If you go to the better Canon L stuff, that is better. The Tamron 70-300 IS VC .... err whatever letters I forget is pretty comparable. The AF is also a bit slower than the 50-150, so it often doesn't keep up with birds coming right at the camera as the start to be frame filling (an area where the 50-150 even wavers a bit). It's a nice light lens. It's far far sharper than the 18-200 on the long end and still sharper on the short end though the difference is less dramatic there. I'm not familiar enough with Nikon lenses to say much about that.
