[QUOTE="vmax84, post: 397729, member: 35592"] I have read thru this thread with much interest, and really am excited about it, but dang, it is PRICEY on a (bottom) feeder pilot's wage!!!!! Am trying to find a cheaper alternative, but just can't find it's equal so far. I keep coming back to this lens, Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD, as I like the stabilization built in (a must for me), the f2.8, and it is much cheaper to purchase. But.........I really want a bit more zoom with the lens, but have to wonder if that extra little bit is worth another 5-600 dollars. I really enjoy my newfound Nikon equipment, but sometimes miss Pentax from where I came.......I really liked the built in body stabilization. Anyway, gonna keep an eye on this thread and keep learning and dreaming about this Tamron lens and hopefully the price will continue to drop. [/QUOTE]
