Hi Tom, were you satisfied with that lens ? How about the lens flare ? I own the kit lens wich is by far not as good as this lens, and besides that I have also the tamron 17-50 2.8 which is a very good lens as well. The only problem with the tamron lens: the lens flare. It's one of the worst lens in terms of lens flare when you shoot against the sun or where you have only sun beams near by. Amazingly, when there's a situation like that the kit lens 17-55 has absolutely no lens flare, just zero. Do you have any experiance with your lens taking pictures against the sun ? I usually have the sun somewhere in the corners and not straight into the sun and usually not in the lunch hours more somewhere after 2 p.m. For how much do you want to sell this lens ?
Kind regards
Urs
