[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 230888, member: 14443"] my 28-70 AFS gave up and stopped working. not sure whats the issue but I have to send it in to melville. anyways took out my tamron 28-75 2.8. man this lens is very underrated. its one sharp lens. the only reason why I dont use it instead of the nikkor all the time is its a bit slow to lock focus in darker environments. but man from f/4 its [B]amazingly [/B]sharp. not sure about corners but ill check those later when I download the pics. I just bought it as a backup because the other options was the 28-105 3.5/4.5 or the meh 24-120 3.5/5.6. so glad I bought this lens. its always important to have backup. and on another note, I tried my friends 17-35 AFS and man I do not like that lens. at the dance floor it was crowded and tight and couldnt go back enough at times to capture the amount of people standing. they were the kind who saw the lens, stopped dancing and grouped together for a picture. and it starts with 3 people, then 5 people and then it gets to 10 people for the photo and its tight there. holy crap this lens is not a people lens. on one hand it lets me get much more in, on the other it distorts people at the corners. it makes me cringe when I look at the photos. it also seemed to lack contrast even when I was shooting at 4.5. anyone use this lens? I held back for a long time to get a WA lens because of the distorted view. I really hate those focal lengths for people. but I had no choice and I got a nice price on a tamron 17-35 2.8/4 (will get the tokina 16-35 come spring and sell the tamron) for these weddings where I have no choice. it doesnt happen often but good to have it JIC. those focal length are not pleasing to the eye. reason why I decided on the tokina is because of excellent reviews (if you get a good sample) the nikkor 17-35 is overpriced new for a 10yo lens and for the price of it used I get the tokina with warranty. and the tokina is sharper from what ive read. the 14-24, too wide and too expensive. 16-35VR, I need a bright VF and VR isnt useful for people who move.
