I can sometimes get clear pictures after much experimenting but they never seem to kind of pop with vivid detail like many of the pictures i see here. i usually try shots in parking lots with harsh light (often orange-ish).
Why buy a Nikon and not use Nikon glass? Tamron lenses are complete trash. The reason I started using Nikon bodies was solely for the Nikon Lenses. No one makes glass as well and Nikon does.
