Its already back from Japan a few months ago. It's sharper then before. Its used 2 b quite soft at f2.8, now its sharper. I heard tat Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is better then Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. But the Sigma is more expensive then Tamron. Maybe u could start a thread asking which is better, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 or Tamron 17-50mm f2.8?
Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8 & 28-75mm/f2.8

what makes you think so? :dunno:
from what people have been saying here that they have to try a few copies of the same lens before finally finding a sharp on...or am i reading too much into it?
so the tokina one is the worst of the lot?

most expensive. not necc. the worst.
so which one is the best then?
Tamron QC quite bad. I'm sure everyone knows abt it.
Where is your Tamron made in? Is it made in Japan?
It's assembled in China.

John 3:16 is the best place I have been so far... I am their permanent customer now :thumbsup:
Best service, no questions asked and I changed three different lens and he still told me "If you still not happy with your lens then come back, we will give you another one" :bsmilie:
I got Tamron 17-50 first, decided that I dont use wide too much so changed it with 28-70 later felt that wide is also necessary so changed to Sigma 17-70
He was cool and patient! The sigma is not constant 2.8 but its very sharp :thumbsup:
Still starts at f2.8 @ 17mm to 4.5 @ 70mm not so bad eh!
Change on the day itself?

:bigeyes: :bigeyes: not directed against u faisalee.. no offence
.. just an objective question..but what is going to happen to the lenses that has been used for 1-2 days and exchanged? continue to put up for sale to other customers as a "New" lens?? Or do they return the exchanged lens to the supplier?
Is this common practice in the other shops as well?? As in allowing returns and exchange of lenses that somebody used for 1 or 2 days cos they are not satisfied with it? I know exchange is common in US, but in Singapore?

as long as it is still in good condition, i don't see a problem. i mean if you were in faisalee's shoes, i guess you'd also appreciate john 3:16's flexibility, tio bo?
