[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 600679, member: 9701"] Well, if someone would have told me 4 or 5 years ago that I’d buy a [I]Tamron[/I] lens, I would have called them Nuts. But, thanks to the good people on the Nikonite’s site, I took the plunge. I did all my research and read the reviews and watched the YouTube videos. They’re all well and good, but it was the [I]Nikonite[/I] folks that I truly trusted. I wanted to know the opinions of [U]real[/U] people, [I]not [/I]company shills, or someone being compensated for their comments. [INDENT]Disclaimer: I’m a hack and I’m the first one to admit it.
