Used/like new can be a good deal. See what the pros say.

It really comes down to you. What do you want to shoot with. And, there is a reason used "like new" Tamron's sell for so much less than used Nikon's. New the Tamron is $50.00 savings, but when and if you go to sell it, it will be worth a lot less than and used Nikon. What does that tell you?
PERHAPS I'VE GOT THIS WRONG, BUT A NEW NIKON IS ALMOST $ 1,500 AND A NEW TAMRON $ 500. THE ANSWER DEPENDS UPON WHAT YOU NEED, OR WANT, AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND TO GET THERE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS! TOO LAZY TO CORRECT!

Yes, I know the obvious choice is likely the Nikon. But the lowest I’ve seen, on Amazon, for the Nikon is between $550-600, while a NEW Tamron is $499. I’ve seen the Tamron, used/“like new”, from $250 to $399.
For $250, I can’t see the problem with the Tamron, but would be Nikon be almost three times the lens in terms of build and image quality? Supposedly, it’s the best DX (midrange) zoom available.

Just bought a Sigma 17-70mm 2.8. You wouldn't be disappointed.

Buy the Nikon and don't look back. No, it is not three times better--but it is better, and that little bit of "better", and peace of mind is worth the money.
