Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 or Tamron 17-50mm f2.8?

the Sigma 17-55 f2.8 is better then both of them..

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.

Best spot to post photos?

jwestman wrote:

I am looking for suggestions on the best place (and cheapest) to post photos for family and friends with some level of privacy. Email is pretty clunky for sharing. I am strictly an amateur but on occasion shoot school pictures for grand kids and family portraits. I'd like to be able to post all of the "proofs" somewhere so they could choose the prints they want.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Heading to Eastern Sierras April 27-May 10. Flying to SF, driving to Tahoe then down to Bishop for 3 days and Lone Pine for 4 days. Anyone have any suggestions for any "out of the way special places" for landscape photography?
Any help at all on this itinerary would be appreciated.

You mean you are gonna be this close to Yosimite and don't go. If you never been there and don't go you will hate yourself.
Then again it may be closed. But you might wanna check it out.

You may want to stop at Convict Lake, its only a few miles (2) off Hwy 395, its worth seeing. Trout Season opens up at the end of April, so the whole area along 395 gonna be swarming with trout fisherman. Maybe a little crowded? and a lot of traffic? Good Luck...

The Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Va.

For the Marines, the M50 Antos was a light-armored, tracked, infantry-support vehicle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos

Yeppers, I remember it well. In early 1965 Chu Lia Viet-nam, we used to escort the tanks on patrol and they had a few Ontos that would be there. Some of the roads and bridges would be to small for the tanks to cross but the Ontos was small enough to cross, so we would escort them into some of the villages.
Sometimes in combat they would be perched atop a hill and would fire tracer 50mm at their targets and once they spotted their target then they would cut loose with all six 105mm barrels at the same time. Truly awesome sight. I stopped seeing them after about 3 or 4 months.

focus on the eyes

They say if you can get the eyes in focus you're half way to a good bird shot.
I fully intend to try that focus thingie just as soon as i find where the varmint is hiding in the frame.

Well I found him or her. Heck I had to go thru 3 magnifications to do so. Like playing a Puzzle, Lol...
