Sheeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaa-ack. Okay, many of you probably don't even know who I am, but last year (the end of July I guess), I made the terrible mistake of selling my beloved Nifty Two Fifty and replaced it with a Tamron 70-300 (and a bunch of silly initials). I've rued that day ever since...... until today that is. Just received another Nifty Two Fifty that I bought right here on POTN. Between this lens, and my 300L f/4, I'm in camera heaven. :D

Welcome back!! I see I'm not the only one that thought the Tamron would be better but was not. The Tamron has it's advantages (build and reach), but on pure IQ alone when I did side by side comparison test shots, the two-fifty was sharper and had better colors. Just glad I never sold my copy.

Some of us just have to learn the hard way I guess. Then again, the Tammy was never supposed to be a permanent solution. I needed that little bit of extra reach until I could afford the 300L f/4 IS, which I now have.

The good news is the Tamron just sold on ebay, so now I'm ahead of the game. And this Nifty Two Fifty is going nowhere!!

Got this one last evening with the Nifty Two Fifty. (exif on my Flickr page)

Funny thing is this lens has become my walk around and outdoor portrait lens. I love my 50mm, can't wait to get my Tammy 17-50 to replace the 18-55, but there is something special about this lens.
