bokeh bouquet

I've been looking for a fast fixed aperture standard zoom for a while and contemplating between Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8, Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. After initially settling for the Sigma, then taking it back due to severe focusing issues, then ordering the Tamron and canceling the order after realizing that the bokeh is not really pleasing, I finally decided to buy a second-hand Nikkor. So far I am extremely satisfied, both with the perfomance of the lens and the brave decision to buy second-hand. And, unlike many other Nikkors, I like the bokeh this lens produces.
