[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 539238, member: 24285"] Thanks for the replies so far Yes I know this is sort of like asking if Coke or Pepsi tastes better. :) Used from a dealer that will offer a bit of a warranty is on my radar. Almost got burned with a Nikkor 24-70 used that failed after one week of use - vendor did take it back but didn't have to. For me the dealer's rep is key when buying used. Another consideration that radically reduces cost. Going to the new version with VC adds close to a grand. IF I could find a VR1 Nikkor I'd be thinking hard about that. Tamron non VC can be had for about $800 - new with VC now running $1800. And I did not realize that the Siggy did not have the USB port, that level's the playing field a bit. I have several Tamron's and have been happy with their products - and they offer the better warranty. I hope to go to McBain's Camera show next month - with my tax return burning a hole in my pocket. Hope they have a sale I cannot pass up. Yes I know Nikkor lenses are on sale in Canada this month and a price increase has been announced for next month - but even with sale price $2400 is still too steep for me right now. [/QUOTE]
