[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 509529, member: 24285"] Picked up one of these older (not yet vintage?) lenses this summer (Aug 2015). I was on holidays in Toronto and a stop at Henry's was on my 'must do' list of things for my visit to that city. I had wanted to add a wider lens to my collection and the new Tammy 15-30 mm 2.8 had really caught my eye and was (is?) on my wishlist. But that lens is currently running around $1400 Canadian and that would have put too big a dent into the budget. I also want to add a 70-200mm lens to my collection, and a longer telephoto to 600mm, each of these also come in around that $1400 range. But a sharp sales clerk showed me the 17-35 Tamron. He said it is one of his go-to lenses for is own photography business which specializes in baby portraits. He showed me some samples on his website of images taken with this lens. He also came down a lot on their asking price - in the end we paid about $300 CDN for the lens. (Which is close to what Fred and Miranda say is average at $336 US$ - which in CDN$ now would be at least $400). So $300 vs $1,400. My frugality won out over my covetousness of the latest and greatest.
