Nikon af s 16 35mm f 4g ed vr vs tamron 17 35mm f 2 8 4 di osd?

Both are wide zooms for full-frame cameras, and the choice comes down to whether you need image stabilisation or a brighter wide end. The Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4G ED VR has stabilisation and only fits Nikon F mounts. The Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD is a light, inexpensive wide zoom with no stabilisation, and it fits both Canon EF and Nikon F.

For landscapes, I'd lean Tamron if you shoot Canon or want to save money. You'll usually stop down to f/8 or f/11 anyway, as the landscape guide explains, so the brighter wide end matters less. If you're on Nikon and shoot handheld in low light, the Nikon's stabilisation is worth paying for.
