>>236320 Actually I'm not, but I'll be sure to stop by that thread too. Build quality is as important as image quality in my opinion. I wouldn't buy a perfectly machined titanium-bodied lens that couldn't render a decent image, nor would I buy an optically perfect lens that was made of toothpicks and bailing wire. Tamron's build quality is vastly inferior to Tokina ATX and Sigma EX, which are both inferior to Nikon and Canon's high end lenses. Tamron's build quality is comparable with the cheap kit lenses that come with entry level DSLRs. If you find that acceptable, fine. I don't.
I like gear to last and to be ergonomically pleasing in addition to having acceptable image quality.
