My Nikon 24-70mm was stolen

9 years 10 months ago #382102 by Jackman
I don't have the money to replace it with another Nikon 24-70mm and was wondering how is the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Autofocus Lens?

B&H has this lens for sale for just under $500 bucks.  Can someone tell me if this is a good lens?

The Tamron isn't even in the same league as the Nikon......:angry:

Why so serious?

IMO. YMMV.

The Tamron may not be in the same league, but I find it to be a fine lens. Look through my gallery here on PT, on Facebook, on my website.

It requires good technique (which took me a while to learn) but is capable of good images. I will at some point replace it with the Nikon, but that's 3rd on my list at this point.
