Tamron AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5

Dpreview.com has reviewed the super wide angle lens from Tamron, the Tamron AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 SP Di II LD Aspherical (IF) lens. This lens is the widest lens you get for the mounts it is designed for and it has a pretty nice price.
The lens will be available for Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts.

Dpreview ends up giving the Tamron AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 SP Di II LD Aspherical (IF) lens a “Recommended” rating due to that it is a very wide lens and it does not have much distortion. There are some downsides to the lens because it is a bit soft wide open and has soft corners at all apertures and focal lengths.
Seems like an interesting lens if you are into wide angle photography.

Nikon D300 DSLR

The owner of dpreview.com, Phil Askey, has finally reviewed the Nikon D300 DSLR. The wait was well worth because it is always a pleasure to read the in-depth reviews by dpreview.com.
Phil Askey ends up giving the Nikon D300 a very, very positive review.
He could not find any serious weak points with this camera and claims that the D300 is the best camera in the semi-professional DSLR class beating Olympus E3, Canon D40 and Sony A700. The review makes me really think about switching brand.
