I just bought one! Smile Should get it on Tues or Wednesday! Smile woohoo. Save myself some $$$ on the 14-24. Smile
here is a comparison done by someone on Dpreview on the 17-35 vs 14-24.

wide open edges Nikon seems a lot better. But overall the Tamron seems to give decent PQ.
Consider the price difference, Tamron seems like a good buy!
I will do a test when I receive it.

It cost me US $230 vs $1600 approx for the 14-24. So its about 15% of the price!

There is one more for sale tonight. Yellow15, you interested?
