Nikon TC14EII (note this has since been replaced with the TC14 EIII) Nikon TC20EIII. The first test scene, the deck: Let’s look at how these lenses fare on the long end with this scene.
The Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is a fast telephoto zoom lens that features optical image stabilization and an ultrasonic-type autofocus motor. Designed for both full frame and APS-C cameras, it's billed as the smallest in its class. It features moisture-resistant construction, and has a circular aperture diaphragm for pleasing rendition
The Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a second-generation telephoto zoom lens for Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLR cameras. This compact lens features a constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the range, improved Vibration Compensation (VC) technology, a shorter minimum focus distance of 0.95m, an ultrasonic focus motor for quiet and fast AF operation, and a moisture-sealed construction.
The 70-200mm ƒ/4 employs Nikon's latest iteration of image stabilization technology. The lens takes 67mm filters and ships with a round lens hood, but does not ship with the RT-1 tripod mount
