The longest focal length lens I once owned was a Sigma 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 DG OS HSM C that I bought in 2019. When I got it, it's purpose was to shoot wildlife using my D7500, which it did well. Over time, I found that I was using it less and less and relying more on my Nikon AF-P FX 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR lens for that task. I think it was because the Nikon was somewhat lighter. Meanwhile, I bought a lightly used D500 which I used with the 70-300mm almost exclusively so I sold the Sigma to an old friend.
This past Spring, I had a GAS attack and got interested in the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC HLD lens. I eventually bought one. I did so with my eyes wide open regarding the possible limitations of a lens with such a wide focal length range. I've been very pleased with the results it produces, however.
This week, I took the opportunity to compare a point (circled in RED) in a scene using focal lengths at both ends of the range. Both images were processed with Nikon's NX Studio software.
