<p>Does anyone have any experience yet using this new Tamron zoom? Currently I have a D300 which is still an excellent camera. A few years back I bought the older version of the Nikon 80-400 mm VR zoom, which has very nice glass but frustratingly slow AF. <br> I have been waiting for the right time to upgrade to FX and I would very much like to get the Nikon AF-S 600mm f4G ED VR for birds and other wildlife, but the home financial negotiations don't favor that purchase at this point.<br> That said, I have been impressed with the reviews of the D7100 and it's reasonable price. I'm just wondering if the D7100 paired with the new Tamron would be a satisfactory financial compromise while still allowing excellent images with a solid AF system in the D7100, better high iso performance and a step up to 24.1 mp from the 12.3 of the D300.<br> Also my other DX lenses would be fine on the D7100.<br> Any thoughts? Thank you!<br> Dick</p> <h3 > </h3>
