    Hi Guys,
    Decided to by a Tamron 17-50 for my D40x (as discussed here)
    Tried it out at the weekend. From having read up before hand, I was worried about front/back focusing and motor noise. Managed to get some nice shots:

    My problem was with some of the landscape shots, wide open (i.e. at 17mm) it wouldn't focus to infinity. If I zoomed in a little, then it was ok.
    Just to note as well I was using single area focus mode (focusing on the center, for testing purposes I wanted to know what I was focusing on).

    To me this seems to be a minor, but returnable flaw. Did some googling, but couldn't find anything.
    - has anyone seen this problem with this lens before?
    - do I have a faulty lens, or is this a "limitation"?
    - anything I'm missing or anything else I should try? (Battery was low so I changed it, no difference).

    Thanks!
