Shooting FX. Currently using a very nice older Nikkor 28-105 (f/3.5-4.5) as my 'walkaround lens' which has nice range of zooming but it's a bit slow and dated. Very small and light tho.
I simply will not lay out the cash for a brand new nikon 28-70 (an excellent lens), but I am pondering perhaps a used tamron, sigma, or tokina. I realize I'll be taking on a bigger and heavier lens (especially the tokina) but I'm wonder if the focusing will be faster and more accurate with perhaps(?) more resolution? Was hoping to use the 28 end for landscape and/or astro-photography; hoping the 70mm wide open would work for portraits...
Whatdaya think??
