Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

Well, after taking the advice on my previous thread I went with the Tamron 17-50, the internal focus motor, non VC version.

These are the first and third shots I took with it:

And this one

Both of these were shot wide open with available light. I have a lot to learn, but already am liking this lens. Both of these were adjusted for vingette.

Glad you made the right decision :D

( was kinda hard to when tossing up between two lenses that would perform wonderfully anyways, but glad you got the Tamron.. welcome to Maxwell Australia).

Tack sharp isn't it? :cheers:

Sure is, especially compared to the two kit 18-55's I have. I can't imagine them ever going back on either body unless I have a huge need for the VR! Problem is, now I am going to want to upgrade my 70-300... The D90 is definitely showing the weaknesses in glass more than my D50 did.
