Apart from the obvious difference in price, are these 2 lenses different or both the same ? I just want to be sure before ordering. I suspect the Jessops price is way OTT. Buying from Jessops would have been handy as they have a store just about 10 mins drive from my home but I don't think almost 100 pounds is worth the convenience. http://****/ofztp (external link)

When Warehouseexpress.com advertise the AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di (67mm) for £259.00 almost £100.00 cheaper than Jessops

I've had a look at Tamron's web site http://www.tamron.com/​lenses/prod/di.asp (external link) and it seems that they are the same.
Its not at all unusual for Jessops to be WAY over priced :D
From what I've read here and elsewhere, you should be very pleased with this lens. Good luck.

Don't forget to post some pictures! And give some feedback on this lens too.

It seems a cracker, and it's great to read about other member's experiences with the various lens options.

Enjoy!
