Nikon af s 18 35mm f 3 5 4 5g ed vs tamron 17 35mm f 2 8 4?

I don't have a Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 page on the site, so I can't compare the two directly without guessing at the Tamron's specs. What I can tell you is what the Nikon AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is good for. It's a small, inexpensive full-frame wide zoom that autofocuses. It isn't stabilised, and it gets darker as you zoom in, so it's a daylight lens more than a low-light one.

If you're weighing a wide zoom for landscapes, the landscape page covers what to look for. For a sense of where a wide zoom fits in a first kit, see Lenses: your first lenses.
