The new shop on Khurais Road named Qomra? Shops on ground floor in Olaya Akariyah bldg 2? All checked out?

On a side note. It's better to stick with Nikkor or Canon. You'll buy Tamron now but will soon have to replace it with equivalent lens from Nikkor.

I will check it out there as I havent checked it on these shops. I would have stuck to Nikkor, but they are damn expensive. And I have 10-24mm Ultra wide angle from Tamron which satisfies my needs. So I guess its (Tamron Lenses) value for money !!

deff not high performance at all.  3.5 is a horrible aperture for a "high performance"

considering the cheap macro from canon is a 100mm 2.8, id say you may be looking at the wrong macro lens friend

VERY individual on that.  sigma is about the only 3rd part lens id get, and even then only a handful (like my 15mm fisheye which outperformed canon in almost every aspect) and TOkina for their fisheye zoom
