I'm at a loss. I dont know which lens to go with, this Tamron 17-50 or Sigma's 18-50.

I feel the same way.

Me too.
Nice rebate now on the Tamron. 6 year warranty, too. Just sayin'. My new one is very sharp even wide open.

Tamron cheaper.... and after reading some revied, Sigma have had a few AF issues. ![]() TFCD - pic#-46 ![]() ![]() IMAGE LINK: http://www.flickr.com/photos/neoquip/8123142203/ ![]() TFCD - pic#-37 ![]() ![]() IMAGE LINK: http://www.flickr.com/photos/neoquip/8123160118/ ![]() TFCD - pic#-36 ![]() ![]() I'm pleased with my results, never done a TFCD event before, never photo'd in a studio.. and never used studio lighting. I'll go again as I felt I learnt a lot and could learn more. Phil

Dont get close up and use 17mm, but stand far back and use closer to 50mm and make sure the person is photographed from head to toe. Would love to see how the crops look after that. The most important piece of gear you own, resides in your head and its called your brain.
