I am also using 50mm, good but not practicle as a walking / travelling lens, hence looking for a zoom.

Good lens... but low on cash to consider that option.

I'm using 28-70. Great lens but damn heavy for prolonged usage.

eat grass lah, like me.
bonus coming mah!

IMHO, a prime 28mm or 35mm is much lighter than a zoom if your main purpose is travelling photography. Granted you cannot "zoom" but you can always zoom with your legs...

I find it a balance between the convenience of a zoom vs the light-weight (and quality) of a prime for travels... of course, some people just slap on a 18-200 and thats it...

the Nikkor 28-70 is great if you're shooting film

(or if you're still wishfully pining that Santa will announce Nikon FF bodies)

If I don't recall wrongly the Tamron 28-75 is limited to APS-C sensors.
