I don't know anything about the Tamrons, but I have the Nikkor, and it is an
excellent lens. You won't be disappointed. Unless you need the fractional
extra stop or price is a factor, go w/the Nikkor.

I am considering the following 35mm/MF lenses:

Tamron SP 70-210/4-5.6
Tamron SP 70-210/3.5
Nikkor 80-200/4

Photodo rates the Nikkor at 3.6, but does not
rate the others. Does anyone know where I
could find comparitive ratings?

Thanks in advance,
Mike.
