[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 708259, member: 43545"] I only have 1 Tamron lens. Always shied away from them after only seeing their lower cost Dx lenses. When looking for a 14-24 2.8 Nikkor I tried out the 15-30 28 Tamron and was very impressed with its feel, optical performance and excellent vibration reduction. It was also $400 lower cost. The VR was excellent and allowed shooting hand held at ridiculously slow shutter speeds. So when I wanted to upgrade my Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VR to the VR2 version I rented the G2 Tamron and it was built as well as the 15-30 so decided to get one as soon as I returned from a trip. I did not buy it, I bought a Z7 instead and blew my budget when I got back from Turkey. But I still need a newer 70-200, my favorite range. I will wait for the details of the Nikon 70-200 2.8 S version which should be announced within the next month. If it i too expensive, I will get the Tamron G2. The Tamron works GREAT on the Z cameras with the FTZ adaptor. [/QUOTE]
