Ack, I can't paste a quote into an already existing post without it getting messed up, and I'm unable to post text below it... so excuse the double post.
Quote:One reason why I don't like Tamrons is their miserable resale value making it very expensive to test them. e.g. We had a 50% when selling the 35mm f/1.8 SP. A used banana sells for more.I think that'll soon change, same as with the Sigma since the Global Vision came along. It's a lot better now because the Arts are in high demand. The kit junk, of course, is never going to fare well in this regard. I think the mass market isn't quite understanding the drift just yet regarding the (truly) new Tamron offerings...
