Thanks for posting those shots chezzy, they are beautiful and absolutely the sort of shots that I like taking, so I think the tamron 28-75 is a definite add to the list:)

I have actually started looking at secondhand equipment in the hopes that I might find something in between now and when I was planning on purchasing new. (Dee Dee I would look at Fredmiranda, but i am in Australia and not keen on buying secondhand privately unless I can actually try the equipment).
