My initial "test". I have studied these threads on wide lenses for weeks and got the Tamron 17-50 f2.8. My decision was based on the sharpness reports and having f2.8 through out the range. Here's a shot at 17mm, f2.8, ISO 800 at 1/60, hand held. Second one is a 100% crop. I feel it looks sharp where focused. Wanted it for landscapes, portrait zoom, travel and walk around.:lol: I do appreciate this resource in helping with information!

Congratulations on the good choice and I'm sure it'll deliver some excellent IQ for you.

Oooh, not bad. (for someone who ordinarily is not fond of Tamron's stuff like me, that's something). Seems very decent for f/2.8 wide open.

Also, good point in opening the bottle. I have a sparkling white in the fridge in anticipation of the 100-400's arrival :p
