The tamron comes in 2 types - with VC and without. For the one with the pentax mount, it comes with no VC only as we have our SR. It's $618 including GST a year ago when i bought it. Comes with 3 years warranty. The VC version costs more, around $900+ according to some nikon friends. But it...

you'll be hard-pressed to find a zoom sharper than the tamron 17-50. the DA*s, perhaps? :bsmilie: i find the IQ of the tamron at 35mm as good, if not better than the DAL35, and with a constant aperture of f2.8, you get very, very good performance from 17mm onwards - decently wide for many a...

the tamron 17-50 Non-VC was $618 only last year - has the price risen already? the k-5's focus motor has increased the focusing speed of the tamron and hence it's value. imo, the focusing speed of the tamron 17-50 on the K-5 is on par with HSM. I compared it with the new sigma 17-70. i...

can't be bothered la. but i noticed the CSI franchise uses Nikon. it's so blatant, i can't help but suspect some advertising deal is going around in there:bsmilie:

hmm that is indeed possible. however, do take note that on a more overall viewpoint, you don't have sacrifice convenience for the sake of changing lenses simply because the dslr allows you to do so. that would be rather contradictory to the versatility that a dslr is supposed to provide you...

it's very simple actually. the superzoom offers great convenience at a small trade off of image quality, allowing you to take quick shots of many things if you, or your subject, is a mostly on the move. :) to the ts, maybe time will give you the best answer as you find out what you need, or...

you might not regret it. :devil: if you want utter sharpness and if you have the time to slowly compose and change lenses, primes would do a better job than the kit lenses. imagine you have the 2 kit lenses, the 18-250 AND a couple of primes in the range. if you have time and want really...

I would say using an 18-250 is a completely different ball game and the convenience it offers is unparalled. if you find yourself constantly accessing focal lengths inside of those two ranges in short amounts of times, the 18-250 will be extremely helpful. as much as IQ is what you want...

from a layman's point of view, is this k-7 "successor" a camera with better specs? have read in a few other places that the k5 will be in between the k7 and the k-x, kr disregarded for now.
