My father has a Nikon 3200 for three years and has long flirted with a wide-angle lens. This wish we (family) met him on his birthday and chewed him the Tamron. After he had a Tamron telephoto lens already and was very pleased with it, I decided to also here for a Tamron. Apparently, not without justification, he has it for half a year and has never expressed negative feelings to the contrary! So by me (us) a strong buy recommendation
