    Beginner Which Zoom Lens out of the two??

    Thanks guys more to consider, I had seen the tamron but didn't know too much about it to be honest. Can that also be used on an FF body? Think I need to try the two side by side to make a fair comparison.

    Thanks Teflon Mike, at least there are some basics there to work on, I was trying not for everything to be slap bang in the middle but didn't give much thought to composition! I'll try not to get too hung up on pp and let the camera do most of the work on that side of it which sounds like good...

    Thanks guys, I will have a look at the book, Ive been watching a few vid's on you tube which I have found helpful. I have fired up the lappy to see what I can do with the images and although it can handle RAW images and is just about capable, it is so slow and just too painful. I am at this...
