Aspiring for AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

I always wonder what lens should I buy if the time will come for me to choose for an upgrade.

I’ve been reading ebooks and online materials to get some information which could educate me as a newbie hobbyist.

I found out that most of the photographers that I am looking forward to is using a standard zoom lens that ranges from 16mm up to 200mm. For a Nikon User AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is the best choice because it has a fast-aperture, high performance wide-angle zoom optimized for FX and DX-format sensors and features Nikon’s ED Glass and Nano Crystal Coat. But this choice is for those who can afford to spend 10x of his monthly salary.

Since, I don’t have that much of money to spend. I looked for an alternative, consulted some friends and read reviews which somehow helped me to decide. Then I landed and aspire for Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR ZL Di LD Aspherical (IF), it is 3-4x cheaper to the Nikkor lens. After all, it is not the arrow, it is the Indian. (lol)
