Oh one more thing.Lens mounting for shorter lenses (less than 100mm) is pretty much always easier if you have the body around your neck first. Some may find other techniques easier though.
brianks239... I think you'd be suprised if you are "only" buying nikon 2.8 lenses.
Sure, it's a given that Nikon will always be the superior product. But in my experience Tamron lenses product 90-95 percent the same image quality. The only real differences are in af speed and build quality.
hey kiewas, i have a nikon d80 and have shot 20+ weddings with the nikon 18-70 kit lens but the 3.5 is just getting to restrictive. i am pretty cash strapped at the moment and was wondering if you thought this would be a suitable lens for the application.
The difference between this and the 18-55 is that this lens is not a "kit" lens. It is higher quality (though not top of the line) and will deliver sharper and brighter images with much better color accuracy. Also you can open the aperture much farther to f/2.8 which is superb for portraiture or lower light.

I really like the concept of 17-50mm f2.8 from Tamron esp the cheap pricing compare to canon's but I just cant bypass the cheap plastic that make it look alike to Canon's kit lens. And at least 90% of tamron lens looks ugly and cheap...
Sick lens. I just got it recently and use it on my D50. I don't know... I have the internal motor version and it is quiet, fast, and deadly sharp so I must have a "good" copy. Some people seem to be suggesting that version for Nikon mount can have flaws... None for me so far.
Bad choice kiddo, you should've got the non-motor version...your lens is plagued with AF error problems and unreliability issues plus the focus time takes twice as much as the non motor version

@nikonfseries front element doesn't rotate when focusing. You can use polarizer filter with this lens :)

Superb.... and I mean superb lens in my opinion.
The quality difference between this and a Nikkor or Canon lens is not worth the hundreds of extra dollars. Probably not as tough as a nikkor though.

whats the big difference between this lens and the Nikkor 18-55mm VR ?
tjj2productions 2 years ago
f/2.8 on the entire zoom range, and way better images.
hazzard82 2 years ago 3
The aperture range.
For this lens the aperture is a constant f/2.8.
For the Nikon 18-55mm, the aperture range is from f/3.5-5.6.
