Landscape photography in winter, demands warm clothing, layer up.

Lens Technical Information
Tamron 70-200mm SP A001 f/2.8 LD AF IF Di Telephoto Zoom Lens Nikon
While overall dimensions are confined to the absolute minimum, the SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 zoom lens is packed with features that allow stress-free photography: a versatile MFD of just 37.4" over the entire zoom range; best-in-class
maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f200mm; and an advantageous internal focusing (IF) system. The tele-zoom lens covers a desirable focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on full-size format SLR cameras and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm ultra telephoto when mounted on a DSLR camera with an APS-C sized image
The lens above s also available with Vibration Control (VC)
However I could not afford the VC version in both lenses. Therefore I chose to buy the VC version of the lens below. Which is more of a versatile allround lens being 24-70mm
Tamron 24-70mm SP A007 f/2.8
