I finally replaced my general purpose D90 kit lens with a Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD.
This lens is held in pretty high regard and has some outstanding reviews. It ranks right up there, and even outperforms its Nikon and Canon counterparts in a few areas...and is much less expensive. I'm actually shocked by its sharpness and color reproduction. I was a bit reserved when it came to selecting this lens, despite the stellar reviews, because it's not Nikon. But I have to say, it's an incredible lens. I'll miss the extra zoom provided by the kit lens, but the image quality with the Tamron far outweighs the loss.
I'll post some SOOC comparison shots in the near future.
