There's a fence with rectangular grids behind that tree...that's the 'banding' you're seeing. Had me worried there for a minute...LOL And you're welcome. If you do get the Tamron, be sure to ask for the newer VC version. There's an older 28-300 which is not what you want.
Mine doesn't have zoom creep - I shoulder carry, lens down, and haven't ever seen any. Not that I'd be surprised, but not only do I not have it but I haven't seen anyone else I know who has zoom creep with this lens. Might be worth an attempt at seeing if Nikon will judge your lens to need replacement.
Many threads in the last couple weeks, too many - I'd re-post but I've got fatigue on the topic. This is an example of a lens where Nikon over-delivered to the spec and underpriced the result. Buy quickly before they figure it out.
I have had mine for quite a while and am well pleased with the images it produces. Bang for your buck .. you cant really fault it. I was going to upgrade to a 70-200 but have decided the incremental extra $ is not worth it. My 2 cents worth. If you get it you wont be disappointed !
Funny how the update process within the nx 2.2 program itself shows no updates available. Happened twice on two different mac machines. I did manually download it from the site, but I am just saying.
I use raw. But as for 12 vs 14, I can't see the difference. I have tried, shooting the same scene in 12 then 14 and they all look the same. Maybe I have not come across a condition where the difference would show up. If someone could point out a place where 14 bit would shine, I would like to hear about it. I shoot with the D3.
I always shoot RAW and JPG. If it a nothing shoot and no need for a great photo i dump the RAW when I get home, but if and when I need to really work a file the raw is there for me.

Hi Glenn very different, but I like it! I need to get me one of these, I'm fed up panning racing cars on my D3 at f11!!! Great post as usual, thanks for the supplementary info, very helpful Cheers Tony www.wildoat.zenfolio.com
I have come a cross this before. I did take a photo of them doing their shoot, but I certainly would not walk up next to the photographer and take shots of his or her model! But in this case, the photographer wanted to talk and I did take one shot of the bride and emailed it to the photographer.

The know that even with the annoying angle of view difference that I pointed out above that this lens will be a good compromise...
Maybe they put an extra thick layer of coating on it? :-) Ive only had a brief introduction with the Nikkor 400mm f/2.8D AF-I ED-IF, which has it not. although the 'old' 300mm f/2.8 VR-I was there during the introduction day, I did not notice it.

This may be far too deep for me and probably best answered by those photographers who truly excell as artist in the portrait and landscape arena's where perhaps deadlines and business parameters are not the driving forces. But I'm going to take a stab at it anyway and say that it is really both. Yes and no. BTW, too funny Hans. But I can recall that I have done this too when having the thoughts collect as a jumble in your head and...
In ACR, when opening a new raw file, use AS SHOT but use AUTO as opposed to DEFAULT. You see, AS SHOT in DEFAULT pretty much delivers too much BRIGHTNESS. Try this. It takes 1 second and will probably benefit 95% of your shots. I think this is all part of Nikon not giving Adobe the info they need to properly tweak AS SHOT. Anyway, give it a try.

A few things... The D3s has just started shipping. The D700 was announced...
