[QUOTE="westmill, post: 62495, member: 9330"] The tamron 17-50 is best in class for sharpness. Its an extremely sharp lens indeed. Its bargain of the century too. Build quality is very good. Its sits in the middle of nikon kit and pro. It does have one flaw though, it suffers from field curvature at 17mm. The lens needs to be stopped down to at least 5.6 to compensate, f8 even better. It was very much sharpened lol. I have a method.... around twenty in unsharp mask. I then turn into a tiff for any further alteration if any. I resharpen the tiff again in unsharp mask to about 12 and then turn them all to JPG. This gives you the perfect untouched JPG at max poss sharpness. For downloading I shrink to 20% or so and then resharpen yet again in unsharp mask to 12. Its a lot of trouble I know, but it gives you the highest amount of detail poss. [/QUOTE]
