Hello guys, it's been a while since I've been on here. So recently I dropped my Tamron 18-270 VC non-PZD (yeah, I'm a klutz with expensive stuff) and the glass got dislocated internally. It takes perfect pictures from 18mm to about 185mm then at longer lengths it's fuzzy at all apertures. It's not under warranty (I bought it used online) and the local repair shop is asking over $180 to fix it. I'd be better off buying a 18-200 or 28-300 XR for that price.
Also, on my time off from this site, I've since upgraded from a Nikon D5100 to a Nikon D7100. So the Tammy 28-300 XR will AF on it. Would it really be worth it? I have an ultrawide 10-20mm so the loss of wide angle is ok. Also I don't think the loss of VC will bother me for the price. I do shoot deep telephoto often (200-300mm, sometimes cropping).
I'm a serious but curious photothusiast wanting to save on glass by getting non-motorized AF lenses.
