Thanks

I just bought a Tamron 10-24 for my Nikon... I wanted to buy the Nikkor version but the Tamron actually has less distortion around the edges..and was half the price... go figure.

If you've never used it --- try reading about lens on www.KenRockwell.com he has great info and reviews.

Had to add that Ken hates this lens --- but for the kind of photography I do -- it works just fine. For a pro like him - it probably sucks... it just wasn't worth paying almost double for the Nikkor when I couldn't tell the difference.

We have a newer Tamron 18-200mm on the wife's Rebel and a Tamron 28-300mm.......no image quality complaints other than the f3.5.

Ken's lens reviews are somewhat out of date IMO, so I've also been referencing B&H's customer reviews, Digital Photography Review, Digital Camera Review.

FWIW - I'm down to these two lenses:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._f_2_8_IS.html
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...0mm_f_2_8.html
Somewhat concerned on the reviews of the VC (vibration control/image stabilization) of this lens as it appears to cause focusing issues resulting in soft images which doesn't appear to be an issue with the non-VR lens.
Just when you think you've found a deal, a serious for me shortcoming pops up.
The Canon lens appears to shine in autofocus performance.

Here is another Great Dane photo I saw this dog at the Beaches Cruise In last Wednesday... The dog had a gray coat and powder blue colored eyes... nice looking dog. Pretty brave to take a big dog like this for a ride your classic car.

I'm thinking about taking the backseat out and making a platform so Tucker can cruise too. It would also work for the future roll cage/harness plan.

He stays in one spot in my double cab truck, Rev's like a damn super-ball jacked on meth in the cab, going front back left right center with complete reckless abandon.

Thanks Sieg.


It's a GIF, and not a curse.
