Yes, used one at RM3K is a good bargain, the accuracy and reliability is much better, especially critical for job, even a slightly better accuracy is important.
That said, really still depends on the purpose. The Tamron 17-50mm is still good enough for most casual use even for jobs, some profesional photographers used them; by merely seeing the photos, how many or who can tell which lens is used?
But a better lens, surely will benefit more especially for paid jobs.
Yes, you're right, they're stepping up their game. I'm not saying that 3rd party lens will not be better. Just like we can't say the Nikkor will always be sharper than 3rd party, so similarly, I can't say that the Nikkor will be more accurate or more reliable.
But I'm saying 'generally', the Nikkor "should" (or chances) be more reliable and accurate, as in, as a customer, the Nikkor should give more reliability for this. For more accurate, the owner needs to test and try out both lens to know, but from short testing usually you can't really tell (unless the difference is huge), and also one needs to test and make sure the lens has no problems like back-focus or front-focus, even slight, then it's unfair to compare.
For this, after testing, if there is "slight" difference, let's say the Nikkor is better "slightly" for the tester, but the price difference is huge. Then it's up to the person whether he/she feels it's worth paying more for the "slightly" better.
In some cases, a 3rd party maybe better or the better option, then it's a more easier choice since usually 3rd party is much cheaper.
I'm not aware of the buyer's budget, so I'm just suggesting. In the end, it's up to the buyer if he/she willing/wants to save more for it. I was also having budget constraint, but in the end I decided to save and get the Nikkor, but then back then there was no Tammy 90mm VC, the main reason I didn't get the older version is due to the lens extend during focusing, the slow and noisy AF.
If there is the VC version, I'm not sure if I would still choose the Nikkor or not, may need to try out both properly first
Hehe, normally I also expect the OEM to be the most reliable. But see the D600/610 fiasco and problems with other FX cameras la. Loosing hope in Nikon already.
