[QUOTE="simonhodge, post: 46004, member: 8134"] I know some of you guys might choke when you read this but has anyone tried the 18-55 kit lens on a D700 body? I can hear some of you now asking why the #@#* i would ever want to do that, but there is method in my madness. I am about to buy a D700 and want a 24-70 F2.8 for it. I was planning on the Sigma version but then noticed last week that Tamron have announced a stabilized version which is exactly what i want. I know obviously noone has got to test it yet and it might not be that good but i would rather wait and see. So rather than buy a decent lens just to keep me going until the Tamron in available i though about buying the 18-55 as they are only about £100 new and from what i can read actually rather good, that way keeping my money for the Tamron once its available or the Sigma if the Tamron turns out to be not that good. What you all think? Simon [/QUOTE]
