and I wanna know if this is a good copy? Its looking good to me but I just wanna make sure. Heres links to the images since they're large, I kept the file size large to show the real quality, not compressed. These are all iso 100, shutterspeed 200 with flash. All images are just above 3 megs. Focus is at center of all pics.

Hm, well I think my copy is great at 28mm at both 2.8 and 4.0
At 75mm its fine at 4.0 but a little soft at 2.8 maybe.. dropping down to 70mm at 2.8 was a lot better to my eyes. So far, 2.8 at 75mm is my only soft spot which is fine to me.

Nice lens. Hope you enjoy it, and remember to post lots of pictures

Oh, and and a 360 on your desktop?
Awesome :-)

Good lens. What is all the "L"'s on your lens list?

Because of all the snobs that say only L glass can take good pictures, well all my lenses take good pictures so they all must be L glass :)

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that L glass takes better pictures per se, but I have heard them say that it's just a better lens.:confused:

It would be so awesome for Tamron to make a 24-70mm 2.8 with their own version of USM/HSM with full time manual. Improve optics a bit as well?

Then they can slap a blue ring around the front and make it their own "luxury line" but still keep it under $450....muahaha.

Well do you want a lens sharper than that?
Looks spot on to me.
