FYI, the variable-aperture lenses (like you posted) ramp smaller awfully quickly. So the 70-300mm is f/4 from 70mm to 103mm, and then is f/4.5 from 104mm to 154mm, then f/5 from 155mm to 228mm, and then f/5.6 from there on out. As a result, as you zoom in, your aperture gets smaller (and number after the f gets bigger), and you end up possibly having your subject be blurry since you'll need to lower your shutter speed in order to compensate.

The Tamron posted is f/4 throughout the range, so after ~100mm it will have a wider aperture, which will let in more light, and allow you to have a faster shutter speed to reduce blurriness. That being said, there's not a huge difference between the two, so if you already have the 70-300mm you're probably not going to see that much of a difference. The 70-210mm also only goes to 210mm, so you might miss some shots if they're too far away.

Just some thoughts.

For the money, this is much better. Your use case requires a lens that can zoom and takes high speed pictures. Because your target is in motion, you want a faster (larger aperture) lens.

If you need something faster (lower light, indoors, more action), the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 is incredible.

I don't know when it will go on sale, but it's an incredible lens! Super sharp, and the VC makes it usable in a pinch without a tripod

Agree on all points! I broke mine a couple of years ago, and I've been waiting for a good sale to replace it since then.

https://www.tamron.com/faq/products/nikon_z.html I had similar thoughts and still it is a bit unclear on third party compatibilities

Is there something similar for Sony a7r3? In the same price range +/- 250$ would be fine. I'm not a pro photographer, just for vacations and whatnot. Typically I carry around a 24-70 2.8 and a 50mm 1.8.

Any idea this Tamron 18-400mm(https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...di_ii.html) is cheaper than those Tamron 100-400mm? Thanks!
