I would have to say it is worse than the Sigma, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed.

I don't remember the Sigma going off on its own as often as the Tamron does but I'll live with that considering the advantages - sharpness, better stabiliser, longer reach, no back focusing........

Thanks!

I got the D5100 myself but find it difficult to handle with all those focal dots (or whatever the proper term is in English :o0ps: ).
Most of the time I use my old D60 and am much happier with the outcome.


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
