1) Nikon 50mm f/1.4 sharpest lens I own (I think)
2) Nikon 80-200 2.8- I'm not bothered by the lack of VR but it's just not long enough.

Is the Tamron 28-75 2.8 really that good? Better than the Nikon 18-70?

1. Sigma 12-24 - the first lens I bought for my DSLR, I knew I had to have it and I still love my "Popeye".

2 Tamron 28-75 f2.8 - It's a great lens, in great shape, I just never use it, in fact I've probably taken about 4 pictures with it since I bought it. Make an offer.

1. Keep my 100mm f/2.8macro, absolutely love this lens (along with my other two primes).

2. Toss, kick, smash, and destroy my 28-135 IS 3.5-5.6. Too be fair, I enjoyed this lens until I became an L addict, and scored a 24-70 and 70-200. However, now it's a paperweight.

Easily better than the 18-70, unless you need the wide end. Doesn't focus all that fast, but neither does the 18-70. Considering the price, it's a very sweet lens.
