I think for other reasons too a prime appeals to me. Less dust sucked in, less things to break, etc. Plus, I'm not convinced that Tamron makes a decent lens at all.
And of course price, I'm guessing but it's not a cheap lens either ;-) The fisheye part doesn't bother me although I'd prefer a prime 14 or 15 that wasn't a fisheye. And wasn't huge or expensive, sigh like the EF14L. ------------------------------------------------- Street price for the new Tamron 17-50 F2.8 is $449. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
