Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 SP XR - My New lens Sweet !

With the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G DX selling for US$1199 and with some worried that the appearance of the FX frame size meaning fewer high-end DX bodies in the future, a lot of D200 and D300 shooters are looking for a lower priced alternative that's optically as good. The US$449 Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is the usual suspect, and the subject of this review....Here

Tamron announced yet another lens at this year's PMA show, the SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO. This fast telezoom gets in close thanks to its 0.95m minimum focus distance, realizing a magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at 200mm.
