I have the non-VC Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 on my D7100. Bought it used last fall. I really like the range and have been happy with the lens overall.
I do experience focus hunting indoor at times and the lens 'creeps' down while carrying. That aside, for sub-$300 no complaints.
I may be able to buy a CLEAN Nikon 17-55 f2.8 for under $600. From what I read, it focuses well in low light and is a more solid lens. I could sell the Tamron to cover part of the cost.
Worth an upgrade like this or not?
Thanks.
