Rather, you might watch them both on the market and snap one up when prices dip for sales, etc. I am partial to the Tamron version. I have the first version and it is extremely sharp.Alan

Hi Melissa
Digital Camera Warehouse in Sydney and Diamonds Camera here in Adelaide are still selling the old model new for around $1490 AUD
I guess at least you will get a warranty
Lastly, Camera House in WA are also indicating around the same price
Ive only seen the old model for under $1000 at eBay (HongKong)
price on demand I guess

I have the earlier version and have found it to be extremely sharp on both a D800 and D4. I'd strongly consider it at an attractive price. The attached is an American sport -- softball. It was shot from beyond the fence in center field -- at least 250 feet away, and you can see the tiny letting on the yellow ball as it just starts to enter the catcher's glove. On a full res image, you can read that!
