Reply to New lens

Had that lense when I was with Canon and loved it.



When I switched to Nikon, I instead picked up the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.

Runs at about the same price and I figured it was easier to compensate at the long end by simply moving closer to my subject than going backwards in tight spots.



Both are very good glass considering the price.

Disadvantages compared to the much more expensive Nikon equivalent?

- Focus a little noisier and slower but I've shot concerts with both and never had a problem.

- Build quality is not as good.



Other than those two, both are very sharp.
