Hi there andy, ive also purchased a tamron 17-50 2.8, after lots of ummming and ahhhhing, i think we even chatted about it for awhile, but like you ive also not had chance to use it yet, shot youve took looks good, when i do get out to use it ill post up some shots
Yes i know about the telephone wires but they were there so they should remain!
Oh yes they should!
I need to take mine somewhere and take pics of something but not had the chance and weather has been poo. I keep looking at images on the net taken with this lens and they are superb. We'll get there!!
