thanks for all the input everyone! I think I will probably go with the tamron 28-75 for now, but i'll keep my eyes on a deal for the 40mm pancake.

thanks for the advice, I hadn't even considered the tamron 28-75mm f2.8, but after reading some reviews, I think this another potential good choice. How is the Macro on this lens?

Hi there,

I purchased my K-x (first dslr) about a month ago, and I'm loving it so far. I'm looking to upgrade from the kit lens, and I think I've narrowed down to the DA 40mm f2.8 vs the tamron 17-50mm f2.8, and I was wondering if anyone has owned both and would choose one vs the other.

I use my camera casually, mostly taking pics of family/friends and while travelling. About half the time I'm indoor, half outdoor. Can't really say too much about my tendencies so far, as I'm still growing and learning.

I like the range of the tamron zoom, but the DA 40mm is so small and presumably produces slightly sharper pics. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!
