Reader Arkaprava Acharyya wants to get into wildlife photography with a Nikon D5100 and asked us about the relative merits, particularly image quality at the tele end, of two lenses: Tamron’s 70–300mm f/4–5.6 Di VC USD and Nikon’s 70–300mm f/4.5–5.6 AF-S.

Given that it’s priced at $450, street, compared with the Nikon at $530, it’s an attractive option—but you wouldn’t go wrong with either lens.
