trying to pick a lens

racefan

well my 18-135 is no good any more, now im trying to choose between the tamron 17-50 and the tamron 10-24, then later down the road getting the tamron 28-75.

I like shooting some scenic stuff, lightning and the average stuff if that helps

If any one has any info that be great thanks.

What kind of camera body do you shoot with?

If you're still shooting with the Nikon D90, the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm, f2.8 XR Di-II LD SP Aspherical (IF) is a good replacement for the 18-135mm short end and covers many of your specified uses. Then get a super-wide zoom later for vista landscapes and scenics.

i shoot with the D90, i was kind of leaning towards the 17-50.

Any one here shoot with this lens and how do you like it ?

I currently have the 18-135 (R.I.P), 70-200 2.8 tamron and the 180 tamron. I have a nikon 18-70 but thats the lens that came with my D70 that my son uses.

My 2¢

have you considered the Nikon 18-105 Vr kit lens for the D90. closer to the old friend you lost...

between the 2 Tamrons i would do the 17-50 first. seems more standard range...
