The perfect lens... After using the equivalent Nikon 17-55 DX for over a year, bought the Tamron just to try it (after testing 4 different ones at the store and choosing the sharpest of all). I could nos see the difference in quality and color rendition between the two, so the Nikon was sold and I kept the Tamron. Saved $500 on top of that. Bottom line, if you want to buy this lens, try a few of them before you slide the credit card and you'll be very happy.

I don't know what to say that has not been said before... If you are doing professional work with a D300 (or crop sensor body) this lens is a must and worth every cent. It is on my camera 90% + of the time (the rest goes to the 70-200 VR). I give it a 10.

Most previous reviews prety much say it all. I'm givin this lens a 10 as it is perfect for my needs. Combined with a 5D, a 14mm and a 100-400mm, I feel I don't need any of my primes (50mm, 100mm). The macro is esquisite and very sharp, just what I would expect. I guess I got a good copy. This lens is hooked to my camera 95% of the time now, unless condotions require the large zoom or are really, really, really dark where my primes shine.
