That lens cannot be constant f/2.8 and be that size. No way, that seller obviously either has no idea about what he's selling or he's lying. It is more likely f/2.8-4 or f/3.5-5.
Plus tamron are crummy quality and feel plasticy.
Don't go there.

Thanks for the heads up, Im trying to stick with sigma, nikon f-mount, or any cheap canon EF lens if i find any on ebay.

 

what's your budget man? it would be much easier to help

if you can find 200 bucks, go for the 35 mm 1.8, it'll work out to about 52 mm on DX, i love mine, rarely switch back to my 18-55 anymore

the gangstarr era will ALWAYS rock on

and ak yah im paranoid but when there arresting photographers and putting them in terrorist data banks for "anti-social" behavior YOU know something is wrong
in the uk
incrementally its going to be going on in north america

 

My budget is in the 200s, willing to go up a bit if it's worth it.

 

Rememeber when I was working for a prominent new zealand architecture photographer, well this is an amazing house I helped him shoot. Truly new zealand landscape too, although their were a lot more sheep which he photoshopped out of the final images.

photos turned out fucking amazing.

 

prooper

 

Well fucking clean

 

definitely check out the 35 mm then, it's damn fast and everyone i've talked to who has one loves it, no need to use flash anymore inside, plus it's a prime lens and doesn't move at all to autofocus

 

Yes. Good lens. If you can teach yourself to work purely with a 50mm (35mm on a cropped sensor becomes roughly 50mm), then you can do anything. It took me ages, but it really opens your eyes about composition and moving around rather than sitting on your ass with a zoom snapping from a distance.

 

very nice website AK... very clean

Is that a good deal? Seems a bit low for an E-series maco nikon.

 

condition used can mean just about anything.

E series are cheap. Looks to be good.
