hi just checking... between these 2 lens.. which one would be "acceptable" for you guys ?

tamron 28-75mm f2.8
tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (non motor)

guess it is hard to find a new unit for non motor of 17-50mm for my D90 but... is it still a good lens afterall ? i don have 2nd cam. or no intention to get a downgrade type, so non motor is still acceptable for my D90 right ?

i saw there are a few posts, people selling the non motor 17-50mm for more or less USD 300 for 2nd hand unit but requires postage from hk or US. Whereby locally here (msia) it costs around rm 1.4K for that
does it worth it a ?

guess will go for 17-50 mm ..
btw, i found out on A16II there are 2 types a ?
made in china and made in japan.. err in general .. any major diff between them ?

hi alpha_company,

saw the one with vr will be out but... was brain washed to get the one without motor.. lolz
so in general, made in china unit have more error compared to those made in japan ?
err.... just hope there wont be any problem with the back/front focus problems.....

as i am asking a fren who is in hk to get one unit for me @.@

so cant really test it before buy ..
or should i stop him from buying it for me ?

hi, i am asking a fren to check there..
so risk, he might be getting a 2nd hand unit coz i told him it is ok for new / used unit....
adv to check on the non motor.. err it has been disconti.

risk hmmm... still waitng for a call from him on the updates... else.. no deal there

hi hi , would like to ask ... roughly how much for

tamron SP 90mm
tamron 28-75 / tamron 17-50 better ?

guess i would go for 90mm first then onli go to the other lens
from forum, saw most of the guys having 17-50, would finally sell off their lens for 28-75 ... 28-75 that great ?
