Nikon lens v Tamron lens
Just an experiment to satisfy my curiosity
thought I would do a side by side comparison between these two lenses. The main objective was
sharpness not colour or brightness. Maybe a slightly different distance but only by a couple of inches where I was standing, zoomed in to the same amount on each photo
So used the same camera on the same settings. the top row was using the Nikon lens and the bottom set the Tamron lens
On fhe left taken at f2.8 and on the right f8. Both at 70mm
looks as though "focus breathing" comes into play as well as one appears near than the other. That is the distance the lens sees the subject at
To my eyes the lower Tamron lens produces a sharper picture in both cases, Amazing how two different makes are in the finished photo
