I have recently purchased the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens for my D7100. On a "crop sensor" camera, it is equivalent to Nikon's expensive 24-70mm f/2.8 (26-75mm) which is designed for "full frame" cameras. The Tamron provides beautifully sharp images, and excellent bokeh. I also shoot with a Tamron 18-270mm with vibration control and find it to be an excellent all around lens.
The Tamron 17-50, did you get the VR or the non-VR version? I’m considering this lens but not sure whether or not VR is really needed for this kind of lens. The non-VR has a price reduction going on right now.
I was also thinking of the 18-270, but isn’t the 16-300 supposed to be a better lens? Not just more zoom range, but better quality? Better build?
