[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 97547, member: 6573"] The Tamron is a good economical alternate to get a f2.8 lens. It is a little noisy when focusing compared to the Nikon f2.8 zoom lens and can sometimes hunt in more difficult lighting situation especially indoor. The VC is a more updated lens that I have not tried yet but it might be worth the extra money. Having a faster aperture lens helps out a lot especially indoors. You know this already with your kit lens once you zoom in and at f5.6, you'll need a stronger flash or lower down your shutter speed just to get a lower ISO and cleaner images. Lens itch never ends so welcome to the club. [/QUOTE]
