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.
the first picture is at 29mm, and the second is at 24mm. So yeah, the second picture would have a little more distortion but it is imho acceptable.
