[QUOTE="ditonics, post: 465082, member: 39749"] I bought Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD amd Tamron SP 70mm-200 f/2.8 DI VC USD as a starting point. My trouble is I have been canon for 20 years and finding a few problems with the swap. Don't get me wrong I am loving the D810 and the 24-70. Not received the 70-200 yet. I have a fixed amount of money left (insurance pay out for all my Canon stuff being stolen) and was playing round with ideas on what I could get for it. I was considering a Sigma ART lens but that would just about finish my budget. So that lead me to look at used Prime lenses and thus my confusing began with the older lenses. (and according to dxo a lot of the older prime lenses aren't actually that sharp) I am well aware that Canon came out with a new mount and at the time pissed off a lot of their existing customers, but it has to be said it has left them with a better mount. Having an AF motor in the body and in the lens is needless duplication and makes for added complexity and added manufacturing costs. But hay ho life isn't perfect. I am enjoying the higher resolution sensor and I am sure I will enjoy the higher dynamic range. Now if only I could get my head round Nikons way to focus on one spot, meter on another and then frame.
