I just took delivery of this lens a couple days ago. No photos to post yet, but the build quality sure is impressive. I thought I'd point out that it can be had for a lot less than $1300. I got mine from Emmy Photo (in Canad ...

I recently bought one of these (well my wife bought it for me as a birthday gift - she is a keeper). And I love it. We had an excellent opportunity to take it for a test drive right after buying it as we went to the ...

Hi Dave, I tried out the Tamron a while back on my old d70 (I have a d300 now). My comparison at that time was with the kit Nikon 18-70. I loved the 2.8 aperture and small size of the Tamron, but it was not terribly sharp ...

Folks, I just bought a Nikon D750 from a fellow Nikonian, and would like to purchase A 24-70. Tamron is preferable (cost due to my retirement) or a Nikon would do if the price is right. So, if you want to part with one ...

According to Roger Cicala, the resolving power of each of these, center and corner is about the same at f4 at 50mm (http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2013/01/a-24-70mm-system-comparison). The Tamron is about $600 cheaper, a lit ...

I can believe that the lenses are close when stopped down. Most lenses do well enough for f/4-f/8 but the differences reveal themselves in the extremes which are also the most expensive to optimize for. Opened up is when th ...
