Many thanks for the reply John, I'd just like to ask regarding the Tamron 17-50mm, is it worth spending and extra €100 or so to get the VC version?


My choices seem to be:


€90 for the 'nifty-fifty'


€290 for the tamron non-VC


€390 for the tamron VC


I'll probably give the prime lens a miss since I think I'd find it too restrictive. And I can borrow a basic zoom lens off the old man too keep me happy as well
