[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 274439, member: 14443"] ill do some tests as soon as I get a chance. I will just do a basic brick wall test. nothing more. I will shoot at 2.8/4/5.6/8. 17/24/35mm. dont care for flare and distortion can be seen on the brick wall. af was quick on both. while the nikon is silent the tamron is quite quiet even though it uses the camera motor. it has the same tone as the 50 1.8d but its very quiet. not an annoying sound at all. should I keep the tripod in the same space for both? or should I compose the picture so both are identical frame wise? then we can see the true focal lengths.. what distance should I shoot? should I keep it the same for all 3 focal lengths? not sure which is better and dont ask for both.
