Yeah, because everyone knows that third party consumer zooms suck and Nikon ones
rule. The new 70-300 Nikkor is especially good, even better than the old 75-300.
Oh! Wait a second! The Nikon is actually a rebadged Tamron. I guess all those
who bought the 75-300 Nikkor instead of a Tamron 70-300 paid twice as much for a
worse lens! But back then we thought the Tamron sucked, as it was not a Nikon
lens. But when Nikon releases their rebadged version of this lens we all of a
sudden think its great. It's enough to make you sick.
Maybe we should rethink that whole "Nikon lens on Nikon camera" advice (actually
it's not really a very helpful statement, as it doesn't answer the question
being asked).
