[QUOTE="Crispy, post: 97539, member: 10299"] This is yet another gear question so bear with me or avert your eyes if you're weary of these types of threads. First off.. damn this hobby, I thought computers was an expensive hobby. I laugh at that notion now. On the the point. I'm itching to the replace my kit lens but honestly can't tell if that's just "I need a new lens fever" or if it'll really show REAL results. My current setup is the 5100 + 35mm nikon prime + 70-300mm. I feel like I have ranges covered at this point and low light/indoors with the 35mm but I'm yearning for something w/ a wider aperture to replace the kit lens for obvious reasons (shallow depth of field and low light) . I'm curious if anyone here (soooo much respect for the knowledge here) has spent meaningful time with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 or even has it in their bag and I'd love your thoughts on it. Thanks ahead of time. Rgds, -C [/QUOTE]
