From the samples in there it looks like you give up very little IQ at F/8 between the two lenses.
Thanks for this think this may be a good option
While bench tests are of dubious utility for outright sharpness, I appreciate them for relative purposes - https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-70-300mm-vr-af-p/3
Sure, the FL is better but it certainly should be! However at f/8, I don't think anyone could tell the difference even at 100%. I have both lenses but I always use the AFP for landscapes. So much easier to carry and the length improvement is significant.
so you have both? I currently have the 70-200mm so if i never use 2.8 and want something lighter for landscape would you say it makes sense to trade the 70-200mm
Yes aaron, I certainly think you can sell the FL for the AFP. I use the FL for wildlife and sports and it's my main money-maker as I use it for portraits so there's no way I'll get ride of it.
However, I won't get rid of the 70-300 because it's too small and flexible and good for other things, namely landscapes. I love that it's also apparently a bit weather-sealed too, which has made it comfortable use in light adverse weather.
