Well it's winter now, nothing much that I could take...but I took 2 quick shots from my window a few days ago with my 18-70mm:
and of course the 85mm has taken over for portrait. I must say that the 17-80mm actually has very nice and smooth bokeh as well.
was the lens on full wide on the second picture? the barrel distortion seems to be worse on it compared to the first picture even though they seem to be taking the same shot.
i find the tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 really interesting as it's only about 1/3 the cost of the nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. does anyone here have experience with both? i was saving up for the nikon but if the tamron is almost as good, it's another $800 that i could spend elsewhere.
