Hello,
I might be wrong , but i think this is less difficult to choose this time
because the new Nikon telezoom (70-300) is not manufactured by Nikon.
It's a "rebadged" Tamron if i remember well. Look the price of the others ED
lenses, and you'll understand.
No matter, it's a pretty good lens (especially for the price). In Belgium,
the former 75-300 (true Nikon) was nearly the double in price with a lowest
optical quality i think.
But the former had a good tripod collar ...
