Beautiful! jt
Wonderful capture Jt!W the 1983 Tamron, manual focus mirror lens. Overcast light, with the Sun on the opposite side of the bird to which I'm shooting--backlit shot--had to pull a lot from the shadows to get some detail.

Once again, thanks for your generous words! jtWonderful capture Jt!
I have been very impressed how well the 28-75 and 24-135 perform on my D700.
I bought the 24-135 hoping it would hold me over until I could save up for the Nikon 24-120 f/4. I have to tell you that I now have no intentions on selling it or getting the Nikon 24-120 f/4. The lens does all I need it to do when I don't feel like carrying multiple lenses. The best part is that I bought for $115 from another Cafe member and it was/is in like new condition.
I had used the 17-50 on my D300 and it was so good, I bought the 28-75 the same time I bought my D700. A fraction of the cost of the Nikon 24-70, but almost as good and it has not disappointed at all. Yes, the Nikon has nano coating and AF-S for faster focusing, but image quality is on discernible when the image is viewed at 100%, which I just don;t do. The largest I print is 11" x 14" and the prints look amazing.
Alright...I'll add some that everybody's probably seen, but it will be useful for people on the fence about Tamron.
17-50 f2.8 (with BIM/no VC)
