Yes I undrstand this does not provide a valid test but I have tried other scenes and the kit lens does a pretty good job. I have said the 1.7 will be useful in low light situations saving the use of a flash for one thing but I feel the kit lens isnt realy given the credit sometimes of how good it is.

I'd say the lower looks marginally sharper in the mortar. I found my 50mm F2 prime to be sharper than the kit lens and the 1.7 is meant to be better.
Depends a bit shooting RAW and what post processing has been applied.
Anyway who cares if you're pleased with both!
I find the Tamron 17-50 to look sharper than the kit lens but at the price it jolly well should be.

Both shots were taken as near as possible at the same focal length and settings in raw format. I would imagine the worth of the 1.7 will be in low light situations.I'd say the lower looks marginally sharper in the mortar.

I have the Tamron 70/300 and it's well worth the money imo got some great shots with it.

Just another thought I have been told that all lenses have a peek setting were they preform at the best and wonderd if anyone new the best settings for this lens. I know conditions obviously play there part but all being well is there a peek setting the lens works best at giving you the sharpest results.
Thanks for the reply John I think the term used by my freind is the hot spot.Just another thought I have been told that all lenses have a peek setting were they preform at the best and wonderd if anyone new the best settings for this lens.
