Haven't bought it yet. Rented it for 5 days to test it out and compare it with the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC lens. I gotta say, the Nikon blows the Tamron out of the water!!! The Tamron is soft, distorted (pinched in the middle at f/8), and the contrast is no where near as good as the Nikon. I was hoping that the Tamron would be close, but it just can't touch the Nikon in just about every single aspect!
I just got asked by Curtis Stolas to shoot his new line of watches as well!!! Pretty stoked
