[QUOTE="Spottydumplings, post: 486318, member: 39844"] I cannot comment on the Tamron but I do have a Bigma and I have to say that I like it (a lot). The image that I have attached is straight out of the camera; via ViewNX2 - it was shot raw and all that I did to it was export as JPEG and resize to 1000 pixels on the long side. As you can see from the sky it was a typical British summer day (multiple showers) and was taken at the long end of the zoom. I would not describe this lens as a good walkabout lens; unless you are built like a brick outhouse or like regular sessions with a Dominatrix:apologetic:! On a gripped D90, however, it does feel well balanced - I have yet to try it on my D7100. I have owned both versions of this lens, although the non OS version was only ever used on a film camera (F80). When I went to digital I figured that the stablisation would be useful; given the higher effective focal length. [ATTACH=CONFIG]175658._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
