RM600-700 i guess since quite alot of people selling it. Im keeping mine as back up lens.

Its better if you go to the shops and try the VC and Non VC lens, see which one works best for you. Different people different requirement, some need it and some dont. For me VR/VC/OS or whatever its called are always welcome.

My Tokina 50-135mm doesnt have any kind of stabilization so i know the feeling first hand

Summore imagine wearing a paintball mask which makes you barely see the viewfinder, its abit of a nightmare

^^ Enable all the focus point one is very important

Hahaha COD player spotted!

Hmmm...thinking wanna got Nikon BTS to try a few lens and poison myself

or maybe to send my camera for service

Already played around with the 2470 since my friend own one, definitely gonna get it when i have the moolah

The 85mm 1.4G is too far out of my reach so no point testing . Thinking of trying the 60 or 105 micro and maybe 80-200mm F2.8

I knew it! everytime we said anything about 85G celciuz sure come and post a poison pic

Hmmm...has anyone tried using macro lens (60mm or 105mm F2.8) for portraits?

So who's going to IT Fair tomorrow?

Also how much is 2nd hand 80-200mm two touch now days eh?

The body coating, it wears off after sometimes making the lens looks really beat up

but the new coating said to fix the problem already

D800 with silver shutter button?

Its rumours btw

Love the lighting in that pic, I haz jealous

My only expericen with tamron is the 28-70mm F2.8 and urghhh the built quality really a turn off. Even the 18-105 kit feels alot more solid then the tamron

Yeap, was surprise too actually

Didnt use external flash?

I think you can do that, just ask them. Tried a few lenses a while back but with my D90 body la

Tamron 17-50 cannot use on D3s

I've used 50mm 1.4G many times before and to me i dont see the problem with the focusing speed. Probably because the i use it as a general purpose lens + for low light, not sports

Still the best option is to try it for yourself and judge if its worth your money or not since you the one buying. Everyone has different opinion on things, like me i'd avoid tamron lens because of the shoddy built quality and plastics used (not sure if they already improve now days or not though)
