[QUOTE="hark, post: 662498, member: 13196"] I agree. The sharpness of primes is really hard to match when it comes to zooms. Between the Nikon 16-35mm and the Tamron 15-30mm, DXO Mark's tests on the D810 have the Tamron scoring higher for sharpness.

However, I've seen photos taken with the 16-35mm, and it is no slouch! I believe the Nikon 16-35mm is weather sealed. Not sure about the Tamron. The Nikon will have a metal mount. Not sure about the Tamron. Those are things you might want to consider. Good luck with whatever you choose. [/QUOTE]
