[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 274246, member: 14443"] I did a wedding on tuesday. was at the hair salon and remembered I wanted to test my friends 17-35 AFS vs my cheapo tamron 17-35 2.8-4. I didnt test the lenses at different apertures and focal lengths but after seeing the results, im now very curious to see how well they both do. I was certain there would be no comparison between the 2 and the nikon would be the better performer. not so. the test is not the most precise so take it with a grain of salt. to me the tamron won. I only shot them at 17mm and at f/4. because I never shoot more open than that. 17mm is the most important focal length to me as well. after seeing this, I now want to see what both are really capable of. not jumping to any conclusions as I need to do a thorough test. I shot them hand held at CH for a few burst shots. I took the 3rd of each burst as it would be the one with the least amount of vibration. they were shot at 1/500 or 1.640. iso 2500 so I can get a high shutter to freeze. I used AF, not manual. full files with exif is there. only opened them in photoshop, changed canvas size and pasted the tamron into the nikon file and texted it for proper info. I also uploaded both individually. other pics are there as well of side by side body size. tell me what I should do technique wise for a more precise test for next time. but truthfully, I dont think it will matter. but I hope im wrong. for nikons sake.
