S$583? That's cheap. So they have it over at CP? I'm seriously considering this lens. Would you guys say that it's good and comparable to the Nikkor version?
this sounds like john 3.16 price. is that right?
yes. limited stock. please don't buy my copy! hahahah
anyway, at a fraction of the price do you really think it will be comparable? the nikkor will certainly be better.

Done.
Got it in a pristine condition (second-hand) from the shop at Peninsular late evening just now. The one with PRC mei-mei salesgirl. Forgot the name of the place. Bought it at $480.

between cp, john, ap, lords and ms, cp was the cheapest when i got an email quote from them.
about the same lah. 545 + 7% = $583, b+w uv at 45 + 7%.
yes, focus slower than the nikkor af-s in lower light situations. welll... its a tamron after all!
can read this first on the nikkor. not known to be the sharpest tool in the shed, but a good light all rounder.

i think both lenses serve different purposes.
I got my Tamron 28 ~ 75mm F2.8 around 2 years back.
My copy is very sharp, and initially, I couldn't quite believe what I saw, very impressive results from a third party zoom lens. Like most people have mentioned, the only draw back is the focusing speed of the built in motor (in my case, Canon model). But not too slow for me, since I don't shoot action pics.
Otherwise, it is probably one of the best around, assuming if you get a good copy.
(Do note that lenses varies in QC, calibration, etc. There will inevitably be sample variations)

I believe that the speed depends on your camera model.
My motorised Tammy 28-75 focuses pretty fast on my Nikon D700. So far, I've not heard of any complaints about this lens being slow on a D700. H/W, I've read reviews from other camera users that the focus is slow.
