thanks, Derrel
you had long ago praised this lens, which is why I got one from KEH to shoot this year's parade
I think it did a great job
thanks for your always sound advice

This photo proved to be quite controversial on dPreview. Apparently a lot of Nikon fanboy types only use ED glass Nikkors,even for snaps. A subsequent shot of the Porsche art car with the three young ladies accompanying on scooters demonstrates well the capabilities of the D3x and the Tamron 24-135, which just happens to be a significantly better lens than the total POS 24-120mm lens that Nikon released during the 24-135 Tamron's reign.
