<p>I am asking this question beacause I feel that they still do agreat job in post processing.I believe that they dispaly a value of sharpness that is closer to reality than LCDs .Also I found it easier to work with color profiles with old fashion CRTs.I still use a 15 year old philips monitor.So , are there any old schoolers out there?</p>

<p>Good for him!The paparazzi suck anyway.They shouldn't be considered photographers in the first place.</p>

<p>Nikon D50 , Tamron 17-50 2.8 II , 1/125.<br>

Thank you and good luck to all!</p><div></div>

I bought this lens a few weeks ago to go with my still great working nikon d50.I've had a canon 40D with the 17-55 IS.Good camera, great lens, no doubt.However i prefer nikons and i bought the tamron beacause nikon's 17-55 is over 1000$ so....no.It's not as well built as the canon or nikon but still one can't complain.Other than that , I know it makes a squeeky noise, but it only makes it on canons.I'm guessing it's the different focusing system .on my camera it sounds just like any other lens.it's pretty quiet.Sharpness wise , it's at least decent if not very good.

Eric,

To answer your question about shooting a lot, I shot for two local newspapers , and a few evnets like weedings and such.I didn't really have any choice.

On a normal shooting session, for myself let's say, I rarely shoot more than 200 shots.

For D50 users, how many shutter realeases does your camera have? I'm somewhere

around 60 k , and to be honest I'm a little intimidated by it.Any thoughts?
