p.1 #4 · Nikon 17-55 vs Sigma or Tamron clones | |
In terms of focus speed, the Nikon wins. No contest here. The Tamron and Sigma hunt in low light.
Optically, the Tamron is as good as the Nikon lens in terms of sharpness, except at f/2.8 around 17mm and around 50mm in my usage of it. From f/4 onwards at all focal lengths, I can't tell a Tamron 17-50/2.8 shot from my Nikkor 17-55/2.8 AFS.
Build quality is a no-contest win or the Nikon 17-55. You can kill a man with that lens, wipe the blood off, and keep shooting with it. Seriously... in the right situation, it's a self defense weapon AND photography tool.
