if you're referring to what tamron lens, the new 17-50 VC from tamron la! =p

if you're asking what I shot with... both on 50mm primes.

hi there, i'm thinking of upgrading my lenses for use in events and landscape photography..
im having these lenses in mind...

1) Tamron 28-75mm F2.8
2) Tokina 12-24mm F2.8
3) Tamron / Nikon 70-200 F.28

I ham cautious regarding the Tokina 12-24mm especially if the Tamron 28-75mm is not wide enough for indoor events as getting the Tamron 17-55mm F2.8 would be another option but I would not be getting wider angles for landscape like i would with the Tokina 12-24mm ..
><
For those who have experienced using these lenses on their Nikons, mine is a D90. do let me know ^^

Information to share:

Just got my self a MB-D80 battery grip for my D90.
Bought it at Sunway for RM460. Damn. It is a good price. J-1 offer me RM470.
Bring back the Battery grip in Happy Mood. Immediately plug out the battery cap and plug in the new battery grip.
It shows battery low icon. Tot it is just battery low. Recharge my battery. Plug in again. Shows battery low.
Then i remove the battery grip and put in the battery. Can power up the camera with no problem.
I suspect it was the "contacter" between the battery grip and 3 battery contacter pin inside the D90 not properly aligned.
I realize the center pin inside the D90 slightly bent toward 1 side so i use my nail to slightly pull it out toward outward direction.
Plug in battery grip again. Wala~ It works perfectly~ So far so damn good. solid feeling.

I read thru a lot forum, all with the same problem regardless of Nikon camera models.
So u know what to do now. Sharing = Caring.
Take care.
Enjoy shooting.

thanks yo~
goin to get 1 in sg wang..

No problem. My advise. Bring ur camera go there and try b4 buy.
I dun hope others D90 user facing the same thing like me.
Got excited and disappointed at the same day. ahahaha.
However, now still happy and excited.

Thanks for the input, gonna get one soon. Will definitely test on my cam before taking it back home .

lol...dont worry yo~when human discover something new, its a proud thing!!

checked SSK and it cost rm175 for a new 1...

u might want to consider tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 too.. its cheap, wide too

whats with the 70-200 2.8? for this one, if u have the budget, the need for tele, go grab it fast2

haha yea not to worried abt the fast tele for now..

but for the wide angle and mids...
what combination is better? tokina 12-24 and tamron 28-75? or tokina 11-16 and tamron 17-55?

i would choose the tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and sigma 18-50 f/2.8. cuz i've tested both..

its tamron 17-50mm actually
cant say much about tokina 11-16, but heard its very good and i'm very convinced that it is.
so i'd suggest you go for tokina 11-16 and tamron 17-50

i am thinknig of getting a tokina 11-16 too , but i am not a fan of third party brands and my heart tells me to get the nikon 12-24...i need to try both first.
