[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 34680, member: 3903"] I forgot to mention that I would also recommend the Tamron 17-50 2.8. This is a lens that is about 1/3 the price of Nikon 17-55 2.8 and is very sharp. I noticed in your equipment list that you don't have the wide end that 17mm could give you. This might be less expensive than having the 35-70 repaired. But…remember that the Tamron would NOT cover FX if you ever graduate to full frame sensor. I remember reading that the 35-70 has some kind of glue failure between elements that can produce the fog you can see in the lens. But the front element can easily be removed for cleaning without harm (I did it), and it would improve it too. It all depends where about the lens seemed fogged inside. [/QUOTE]
