daryl_maher Posted August 15, 1998 Share Posted August 15, 1998 Dear Sirs: <p> Is Nikon planning to bring out a 28-80 AF D 2.8 lens in the near future? Something that would be comparable to Tamron's AF 28-105 2.8, but with the quality of Nikon's 20-35 AF 2.8? <p> Also how good is Tamron's 28-105 AF 2.8 lens? The photo books give it an okay write up, but their payed to do so. I would like an unbiased opinion please. <p> ThankyouDaryl Maher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_korhank Posted August 18, 1998 Share Posted August 18, 1998 Daryl Maher, I copied the following from photonet. <p> "I've read some tests about the Tamron 28-105/2.8 in two french magazines Chasseur d'Images and Riponses Photo and in one German magazine called FOTO-magazin. Conclusion : Poor results wide-open, vignetting, distortion, huge shade,impressive (read expensive) filter size (82mm) and expensive. Really not worth the money."

hiroshi_shigematsu3 Posted October 9, 1998 Share Posted October 9, 1998 Daryl, unfortunately, Nikon is not going to release 28-80 AF D 2.8 lens this time. However, they will come out with AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 early next year. See my post at the following address. The bad news is it seems it�fs gonna cost a lot more and takes huge 77mm filter on it. I wonder if I could afford to buy one. <p> http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000A6K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
