[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 509442, member: 24285"] Feeling a little prodigal, been a few months since I've been active here. I have a few pictures to process taken over the past few months - well a few thousand but who's counting. Anyway thought I'd get back into the forum sharing thing with a quick share of a couple of "latest" purchases. I was looking and lusting after the new Tammy 15-30 2.8 - but budget constraints and my frugality got in the way and I came home with a near mint older version of the Tamron's wide angle offering the 17-35 2.8. Not the latest technology but for a quarter of the price of the new lens I figured it would meet my needs and I must say I'm happy with it. Sure the newest and greatest comes with VC which would be nice. But it isn't any faster. I picked it up in the Henry store in Toronto and the sales clerk happened to use this lens for his baby photography business and showed me shots he had taken with this older Tamron - i was impressed. My dear wife offered to buy it for me as a gift - (and thus remove the temptation for me to buy the much more expensive 15-30). I have been using it a lot. I like it. I'll post some images taken with it in the Wide Angle section. But here it is mounted on my D610. BTW you'll see in the pic the new strap I bought - the Carry Speed ProMark III - as I was looking to upgrade from my neck strap. I'm very happy with it.
