Fair enough, Boris. I wish you the best in your new lens purchase. :-)
Cheers, Christine

Well, Christine, I suppose I ought to clarify here.

fairly well in lens assessment. Maybe I'm reading your post wrong. If
so, just ignore. :-) Cheers, Christine
I've a Tamron 28-75/2.8 that I bought from a fellow PDMLer (well,
PDMLeress, in fact, but that's beside the point). It is just shines. It
has certain problems as well, but they are minor. If Pentax comes up with
full frame body, all my problems will be solved then. I will have moderate
wide to moderate tele walk around lens at the ready.
Above Tamron is the only 3rd party zoom lens that I'd be willing to put on
my bodies knowing that I'd get superb image quality from it.
We had a company fun day just several days ago. Unfortunately the other
photo fellow ;-) couldn't bring his wide angle lens (Nikon 12-24 or
something like that) due to battery problems with his camera. So I shot
some very fine images, but no wide ones.
That's why I am started again on my search for a wider lens.
So in a sense, I am looking to replicate speed, sharpness, low distortion
(at 28 mm cropped it is not difficult though) and AF precision of Tamron
28-75/2.8.
Boris
