Hello /p/, I have in possession $400 and I am looking at the tamron 17-50 f/2.8 because /p/ claims it to be a godly lens. Knowing not to trust 4chan, I also checked out and it got good reviews. The only exception is it's build quality and handling isn't that good. What is /p/'s experience with the lens. I am using a Nikon D80.

for the price it's unbeatable.

Quality can be hit and miss though, i sometimes wished i had bought that instead of the NIkkor 17-55mm since i'd be alot richer. But i wanted the best money could buy

whats funny, and I am just reporting hearsay, Is that my friend owns a D300, and he bought the Nikon 17-55
Then later after using it for a month tested out the Tamron. And he says its a better lens than the Nikon in EVERY way except AF speed.

I have used the Nikon 17-55 and think its great (For an F2.8 lens), but never used the Tamron personally.

i've had people say that too, but far more have said it the other way around. I personally have always said the Tamron is close, DAAAMN close for the money.

I think your friend left out build quality though. The nikkor is a monster and is not afraid of monsoon rain... my D70s on the other hand likes water as much as a cat.

I thought you said you didn't trust us?
Buy it if you have the money, I doubt you will regret it.
I personally buy wider aperture primes, F2.8 doesn't feel fast enough for me.

Wrong mount, also more expensive

Shows that Canon is superior in every single way.

Only lens in this range with 2.8 and IS, stellar performance all around.

Same price as Nikkor but double of the Tamron. But everyone knows Tamron sucks.
