Quick Find
Botanical name: Mentha x piperita
Common name: Peppermint
Synonyms: Black mint, candy mint, lamb mint, American mint, brandy mint, hoja de menta piperita (Spanish)
The Plant: A triple hybrid between Mentha aquatica x Mentha spicata (Mentha sueveolens x Mentha longifolia). Native to Europe where it prefers the low, wet soil along brooks. It is naturalized in the United States. An herbaceous perennial plant featuring distinctly square, purplish stems and dark green, lance shaped leaves spreading rapidly by runners. Its purplish flowers occur in thick, terminal spikes from July through August. There are several varieties of M. piperita with 'Black Mitchum' being the most extensively cultivated for its superior essential oil content. Commercial peppermint is produced in Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Northern Europe and the US, with the US being the leading producer of peppermint oil. Particularly Washington and Oregon. The herb is cut just before flowering according to local conditions with the second harvest occurring 60-70 days after the first. Essential oil content varies from 0.6-4% and is highly dependent on the age of the plant and its origin.
Constituents of Significance: menthol, menthone, isomenthone, menthyl acetate, ¨¢-pinene, ¦Â-pinene, camphor, limonene, linalool and piperitone
Quality: Look for adulteration with spearmint and other species of Mentha. Product should come exclusively from vegetatively propagated, cultivated sources, as the peppermint growing wild is highly variable and generally contains 30-50% spearmint.
Regulatory Status: GRAS. Peppermint leaf and/or its oil are official in the national pharmacopoeias of Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Russia and Switzerland, the European Pharmacopoeia and in the U.S. National Formulary.
Did you know: The genus name Mentha is derived from the Greek Mintha. According to Greek mythology, when Persephone found out that Pluto was in love with the beautiful nymph Mintha, she was overcome with jealousy. She changed Mintha into a lowly plant. Pluto, unable to undo Persephone¡¯s spell, used his power to soften the spell, so that the more Mintha was tread upon, the sweeter her smell would be.

Frontier travels to all parts of the globe to get the best quality herbs and spices, but in the case of peppermint the best is right here in the United States. We source our organic peppermint from our Well Earth farmers in Oregon and Washington. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita), particularly the variety 'Black Mitchum', is grown in the warm and dry high-desert area of southeastern Washington and northern Oregon, an ideal climate for growing organic peppermint because it discourages the diseases associated with humid climates.
The harvest time of peppermint, which begins in July and continues through September, can cause growers many sleepless nights. The harvesting begins by "swathing" or cutting the peppermint plants into windrows and letting them dry in the fields for three to five days. Once the plant has been cut from the roots, it cannot be exposed to any rain or the moisture will cause the leaves to turn from their beautiful green color to a dark brown or black, making the crop unusable as peppermint herb. When dry, the plants are harvested by a modified combine harvester and sent directly to the processing plant to be cut and sifted and packaged. Meet one of our organic peppermint producers.

Think Outside the Box, but Don't Forget the Box Exists
Imagine if every time you walked into a McDonald's the menu was different, the food was different, or the prices were different. If you had to relearn McDonald's every time you walked in, it would be less attractive as a fast food restaurant. People rely on consistency and past experience for fast decision making. Inconsistencies cause delayed responses and, in some cases, unwanted errors.
McDonald's lovers have learned the menu through frequent visits to different McDonald's locations (same brand, different locations). Conversely, web users learn standard web behaviors by frequent visits to different websites (different brands and markets). The more consistency there is, the easier it is for users to find their way within a single website and to move from one website to another. Deviation in standards can cause delays for users or cause unwanted user behaviors, such as abandonment in favor of other companies. However, this does not mean that creativity should be banned or that reinvention of the wheel is no longer needed. After all, today's Mercedes looks quite different from Karl Benz's first gasoline automobile.
Restroom signs are fun examples of how creativity and consistency can coexist. Designers often take the familiar male and female symbols and propose their own creative interpretations, offering a unique look-and-feel to a universal symbol.
As long as it doesn't interfere with the goal of the sign—i.e., providing a clear direction and organization—creative designs can offer great ways of uniquely conveying the message.
Macro-Level vs. Micro-Level Consistency
There are two ways of ensuring consistent design. One way is to follow well-established market standards used in other sites (or even other media). This is macro-level consistency. The other way is to establish a new set of rules that remain consistent within a specific site, which I refer to as micro-level consistency. Through the usage of graphic design fundamentals such as colors, type, shapes, layouts, and grids, designers may elect to use the macro approach, the micro approach, or a combination of the two, in order to achieve consistency. This can help build users' trust, improve the speed of usage, enhance readability, and encourage certain behaviors and emotional responses that should result in better experiences.
Consistency through Design Fundamentals
Color Consistency
Color is interpreted by the brain faster than words and, when used correctly, serves as a great visual cue for the functions and behaviors of site elements. Web users learned to trust that blue text (whether underlined or not) is most likely a link that will lead to another page. This is a macro-level standard that has been adapted by many websites.
LaLicious, a bath-and-body product line, chose a micro approach for their website design, using the color pink for links. The usage of a different color for links does not by itself cause inconsistency. However, in this case, the pink text elements function as links only in some cases (boxed in green in the screenshot below), while in other cases the pink text is just plain text. This inconsistency creates confusion as users realize they cannot trust the message conveyed by the colors and are forced to hover over each element to determine its functionality.
One solution to this might be to underline links even when they're not being hovered over. This would differentiate them from non-link pink text elements. Or the color pink could be used for links only. If there is a need to highlight certain words, a bold style could be used instead of text color to indicate emphasis.
Type Consistency
Typography is the style and arrangement of typeset matter. In communication design (with which UX design has significant overlap), the appearance of words is as important as their meaning. Type attributes such as typeface, size, spacing, margins, etc., need to be carefully planned in order to best convey a message and direct users' attention. Users look for familiar patterns of either macro-level or micro-level consistency to quickly scan pages and complete tasks. News sites mimic newspaper type styles, using larger fonts (in many cases bold styles) for main headlines, medium-size fonts for sub-headlines, and smaller fonts for article copy. This macro approach allows quick page scanning and fast decision making as users scan content and determine what to read.
Let's take a look Amazon, the largest online retailer in the world. Within an Amazon.com product page, there are thirteen different font treatments in the product description alone, and the full page includes additional styles. Thirteen styles are too many for users to memorize and decipher to quickly learn a system and reuse it properly. Further, the current micro system lacks visual organization, making it difficult for users to quickly scan the page.
- Font Key (Photoshop point settings):
- 1. 20 point, black
- 2. 12 point, black
- 3. 12 point, blue, underline
- 4. 12 point, gray
- 5. 14 point, black
- 6. 18 point, red
- 7. 14 point, blue, underline
- 8. 14 point, red
- 9. 16 point, green
- 10. 12 point, black, bold
- 11. 12 point, green
- 12. 12 point blue, underline, bold
- 13. 12 point, red
By contrast, here is the same product as presented on eBay. Two font colors and five font sizes and styles are consistently used throughout the product description creating a clear visual path and quick information scanning.
- Font Key (Photoshop point settings):
- 1. 18 point, Black, Bold
- 2. 12 point, gray
- 3. 14 point, black, bold
- 4. 12 point, blue
- 5. 10 point, black
Shape Consistency
Shapes are the building blocks of graphic design and are often used to organize and separate information. Together with type, color, grid, and layout, shapes can confer meanings and certain feelings onto page elements such as copy and images. Circular shapes, for example, will soften an overall look-and-feel, while the sharper corners of a square will appear rigid and orderly.
Shapes are often used to direct the eye through the design and keep the user's interest while moving from one element to the next. Inconsistent usage of shapes may disorient users and interfere with their performance of tasks.
Most sites present their products using a square- or rectangular-shaped areas. This macro approach works well as it is easy to implement and serves the purpose of organization.
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) often produces small, informative websites for each of their exhibitions. The designers for their color exhibition website broke from the standard square/rectangle shaped product display (macro), presenting the color exhibit site in a unique and fresh light. Each product is presented within circular shapes, each in a slightly different size and alignment. The circular shapes were most likely designed to represent the color wheel (considering the exhibit topic) and give a softer and more playful look to the page. Further, the different size circles and alignment changes were carefully planned and achieved a fun yet organized atmosphere that is easy to navigate.
Layout and Grid
Think of a grid as a plan for your page layout with one goal in mind: a seamless user experience. It provides guidelines for page content and organization, and establishes a modular structure that allows layout variations without affecting readability and consistency.
The site's main navigation design needs a careful consideration when designing the page layout. A website's navigation is its table of contents and one of the main cues for users about the depth of the site and their position within. It is therefore essential to create a navigation system that is easy to locate and use.
A macro-level standard is to position the main navigation either at the top of the page or on the left-hand column (for left-to-right languages, anyway).
The main navigation for MoMA homepage is placed at the bottom of their page layout (a micro approach). This causes multiple issues:
- A natural readers' flow is from left to right, top to bottom. A top navigation often serves as an anchor and a starting point for a page, as well as a comfortable position for users to return to if lost. Placing the navigation at the bottom not only sends users searching for the navigation when they first encounter the page, but also forces them to keep jumping from bottom to top (navigating at the bottom, then jumping to the top of the page to view the content).
- Breadcrumbs and page titles were treated as a macro grid approach as they were positioned at the upper left-hand part of the page. This causes a complete visual disconnect between the main navigation, breadcrumbs, and page titles, which should all work together to serve one purpose: telling users where they are in the process.
In conclusion, keep thinking outside of the box but don't forget the box still exists.
The boundaries of convention, although invisible, have taken a while to establish, and following them will keep you on target. Communication design and UX design are about sending a message for people to read, understand, and follow. Whether you select a macro approach or design a micro system, the goals remain the same: a seamless user experience.

I really like this article. Another example in various shapes is Google's image search. The default used to be same size, tabular squares. Now it is a mishmash of different shaped images. I always go to the bottom of the page and change it to the bottom of the page and switch it to the basic version which, is for me, much easier to find the image I want to see and therefore, click on the site I want to visit.
This is a great article. So many sites get overloaded with too many fonts and inconsistencies. I loved how you used specific examples.
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent article and right in the same vein as our recent feature on Predictability here at UXmag. Not sure personally if I would have used those particular bathroom signs as an example. But it takes all kinds to make a fun world :)
Great article. MoMA bottom menu sample: I used to think in this kind of navigation placement also, for pages like blogs or where the top navigation stands for only some elements, I think that the bottom aligned navigation is better, because people are there mainly for reading articles, so the emphasis of navigation changes a little bit. In this case I also think that this layout is not preferred (as you have to navigate a lot for eg. find exhibitions, artist etc.)
ps (offtopic): hey UXmag, you can't be serious with this captcha experience, try to misspell it, I know, that it's not a frequent use case that people write it incorrectly, but you are an UX blog => these kind of failures are not allowed here :)
LOVED your post. My focus is usability and it's so refreshing to find a web developer who's really tuned in to the customer experience. Thought you might enjoy this email newsletter I wrote along the same lines: http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Is-The-User-Experience-Really-That-Important-.html?soid=1101560951997&aid=l2_7nfVCtco
Great article,
I have experienced that especially young people have a problem with the "box" - boxes of rules, standards and traditions.
I think that it's important to know the form, content and the substance of the box and its history - and that doesn't only apply to design.
If you know the "what", "why" and "how" of the box - you hopefully have a feeling when you have to walk the line and when you can or might disregard it.
For Amazon's sample I disagree somehow...
If a brand which is so popular that everyone has been browsing and using everyday, people will soon adapt to it. No need to say if that brand has become one of those standards that other brands have been trying to mimic.
But I agree that there's indeed too much type sets in Amazon's product page. And to be honest I think most people (including me) can quickly and easily scan the product's:
- price
- amount saved
- in stock or not
- deliver by when
But still, Thanks for the great article here!
Great article. While I do think some websites brands push them to be way out of the box, the majority of designs should be consistent with a flare of difference that stands them apart.

Comments about THULE 687XT Atlantis 1800XT Cargo Box:
Bought for family ski vacations and to haul gear to the locker at our local mountain. Bought based on perception of quality and brand name. The very first time we installed it, the front clamps broke. Went back to EMS and had to buy new ones. Was able to go on vacation. The next time, the two front clamps broke and one rear one. This time, I bought five, which I've already gone throuh. I thought it was just me, but two other people I know have the same issue.

Valentine Coffee Roasters plans to open a tasting room in its west side roastery, perhaps by March or April.
Note that the company's principals call it a tasting room, as you'd find at a winery, rather than a café. With their background in wine, they intend to focus on the flavors of coffees from around the world. They'll serve cups of coffee brewed by the pour-over method along with espresso and espresso drinks, but won't flavor coffee drinks with syrups. »Read Full Blog Post

Understanding the Subprime Mortgage CrisisYuliya S. DemyanykFederal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Otto Van HemertIMC Asset Management December 5, 2008 Abstract: Using loan-level data, we analyze the quality of subprime mortgage loans by adjusting their performance for differences in borrower characteristics, loan characteristics, and macroeconomic conditions. We find that the quality of loans deteriorated for six consecutive years before the crisis and that securitizers were, to some extent, aware of it. We provide evidence that the rise and fall of the subprime mortgage market follows a classic lending boom-bust scenario, in which unsustainable growth leads to the collapse of the market. Problems could have been detected long before the crisis, but they were masked by high house price appreciation between 2003 and 2005.

A's turn to Kazmir to get back into win column
Oakland enters series opener on season-worst five-game losing skid
Oakland was supposed to run away with the American League West after trading for Jon Lester at the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Instead, the Athletics have backpedaled and scuffled through August, posting a 7-10 record this month, with losses in seven of their last eight games, including a season-high five straight. The recent skid has knocked Oakland off the podium as baseball's best team, and has also dropped the A's percentage points behind the Angels atop the division standings.
Oakland will try to forget its nightmarish road trip when it opens a key five-game homestand with the Mets on Tuesday, kicking off a brief two-game series at O.co Coliseum. The A's host the Angels for three games after playing New York.
"Every team goes through a stretch like this," Stephen Vogt said. "I don't think there's any team in the big leagues that's ever not had a stretch like this. I think for us, it's good it's happening now with this much time left."
The middling Mets may be just what the Athletics need. New York has lost five of its last seven games and was 7 1/2 games out of the second Wild Card spot in the National League following Monday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs.
After Monday's off-day (the A's first off-day since July 31), Oakland will turn to Scott Kazmir on Tuesday to return the club to the win column. In his last start, Kazmir was saddled with the loss despite throwing seven innings of three-run ball, while allowing seven hits and one walk.
Kazmir has dominated for much of the season, but like the Athletics, he has hit a rough patch since the calendar turned to August. In three starts this month, Kazmir is 1-2 with a 5.49 ERA and a .297 batting average against.
The 30-year-old left-hander faced the Mets earlier this season, lasting just three innings in his worst start of the season. He surrendered seven runs on eight hits, while serving up three home runs during a 10-1 loss on June 24.
The Mets, meanwhile, will send Dillon Gee to the hill as he tries for his first win since July 9, when he twirled seven innings of one-run ball in his return from the disabled list. Since that start, Gee is 0-4 with a 5.60 ERA and has given up eight home runs in those six starts.
Gee hasn't pitched at O.co Coliseum and has only started once against the A's, a loss in 2011. Coco Crisp is the only Athletics hitter who has a hit off Gee.
Athletics: Club upbeat despite slide
Monday's off-day was much needed for the A's, who have lost five consecutive games and seven of their last eight.
Although Oakland recognizes the need to correct course, John Jaso believes the occasional slump here or there is part of baseball.
"There's still a lot of season left," Jaso said. "The key here is to get the momentum back and carry it on into after the [regular] season ends."
Vogt believes a stretch like this reveals a team's makeup, something the first baseman asserts is quite strong in Oakland.
"The last week or so, we just haven't been able to get big hits at certain times," Vogt said. "It's frustrating, but at the same time, we're never down. If there were no records, you wouldn't be able to tell when you walk into this clubhouse what our last week has been like. That's the character of this team."
Mets: Wright returns despite shoulder issue
As the Mets showered, dressed and scurried out of the clubhouse, eager to enjoy a rare evening without work or travel, following a 2-1 loss to the Cubs on Sunday, their captain remained.
David Wright was busy receiving 45-60 minutes of treatment on his sore left shoulder, which has given him problems for two months and was re-aggravated when it absorbed the blow of an 88-mph fastball on Saturday night.
Wright, who was unavailable to the media before and after Sunday's game, didn't play in the loss. He returned to the lineup on Monday and went 0-for-4.
The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Wright, whose recent 13-game hit streak helped him break out of a second-half slump. His slash line is still just .232/.289/.250 since the All-Star break -- which coincides with him receiving a cortisone shot in his ailing shoulder -- and he is weathering a down year overall. Wright's .711 OPS is far below his career mark of .874, and he's on pace for career lows in on-base percentage (.331) and slugging percentage (.380).
"David Wright will bounce back, whether it's next week or next year," manager Terry Collins said. "This guy keeps himself in tip-top shape."
Worth noting
• Oakland has held at least a share of first place in the AL West since April 24.
• The Athletics have a winning record in a franchise-record 14 straight months.
• Top Mets pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard struck out eight and allowed two runs in five innings for Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, giving him 40 strikeouts and a 2.14 ERA in his last six starts.

And it's not even certain that Sweden will use that spot *mumbles about to high requirements* The Swedish Olympic Committee wont send a skater (Adrian/Kristoffer/Alexander) unless he hasn't a possibility of end top 8... How do they think?!? It wasn't a good Worlds for Sweden, but not a bad either. The best placement we've got at Worlds was Koffe's 9th in Tokyo two years ago. 8th at Oly... Why don't they require a medal when they're already on it...? *mumbles a little bit more*
I am astounded that Sweden won't send a man to the Olympics unless he can finish in the top 8. Schultheiss and Berntsson finished 13th and 14th in 2008, and both skated very well. Neither man had a good Worlds in 2009 (18th and 20th).
Even based on the 2008 results, to expect a top 8 finish is ridiculous.
It really is... Ok, I understand, they spend a lot of money of sending someone to the Olympics, but at least they can have fair goals! We'll see what happens, the show will go on. I'll keep you updated.
I'm not sure. I haven't followed figure skating long enough to know these things. Does anyone know if 6 spots give Andreev a decent chance to qualify for the Olympics?
WHAT??? Is this a new rule? They did send Koffe to the 2006 Olympics, and I'm pretty sure they didn't consider him to be a Top 8 finisher in those days.
No, or they were very fooled! I think that was a "watch-and-learn"-ticket. Now they seem to have risen the level real high! "With great power comes great responsibility" or something.
The press chef of SOK is my neighbour. He's coming over here next week and then he'll be dealing with me and my furious questions. To be continued...
Last edited by siberia82; 07-26-2009 at 06:48 PM.
Oh, I just remembered. How does Lutai (9th) and Voronov (13th) get Russia 3 qualifiers for the Olys?
Does the Olys qualifications have a different system than that of the ISU?
I'm curious about the pairs qualifications.. who did actually qualify (the top 12)? and who is going to skate for the qualifications in Nebelhorn and how many spots are available? The only nations that I have in mind now are Poland, Italy, Switzerland .. and?
Last edited by eleonora.d; 07-12-2009 at 04:13 PM.
Yeah; did Kevin van der Perren qualify already? Or does he still need to do Nebelhorn or something?
Kevin qualified, he placed high enough at Worlds.
This chart I found on-line should answer the Nebelhorn part of your question: http://sites.google.com/site/figures...-qualification

Midwest Living Review
Grinders is located in the heart of Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District, a gathering place for the Midwest hipster crowd. There's a good chance you'll see all kinds of tattoos and piercings when you walk in the door. Decor the restaurant matches the eclectic style of the clientele. If you think Ozzy Osbourne meets Disney World, you're almost there. The laid-back hangout is best known for two things: pizza and wings. But not just any pizza and wings, of course. Grinders does New York-style pizza to perfection with substantial hand-tossed crust and savory toppings on a foundation of stringy melted cheese. The 12-inch starts at $8.75 and the 18-inch starts at $15, but you'll want to add at least one of their "fancy pants" toppings, which includes smoked salmon, tandoori chicken and capers. As for the wings, tread carefully. Death Wings,"as they're known, come in four flavors ranging from Wimpy to Death Sauce. We tried the Wimpy wings, and those were hot enough for us. The staff warned us that Death Sauce is only for really crazy people. Good to know. Speaking of the staff, the service here was great, despite it being a busy night when we visited. And while some of the decor here can feel a bit unsettling, we would come back for the food anytime.

I have used this product for several years and always purchased them for any new running/hiking shoes. I have purchased several new ones, but they have changed the product and made the heel thicker than it used to be so my heel is not able to seat properly in the shoe. I made this purchase hoping that this was possibly just a few instances, but every one that I have received is the same way. Very disappointed in the fact that they changed something that was perfect.

Quantum of Solace Synopsis
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined. Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization. On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land. In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organization.

On the eve of the monsoons, in a remote Indian village, Kavita gives birth to a baby girl. But in a culture that favors sons, the only way for Kavita to save her newborn daughter's life is to give her away. It is a decision that will haunt her and her husband for the rest of their lives, even after the arrival of their cherished son.
Halfway around the globe, Somer, an American doctor, decides to adopt a child after making the wrenching discovery that she will never have one of her own. When she and her husband, Krishnan, see a photo of the baby with the gold-flecked eyes from a Mumbai orphanage, they are overwhelmed with emotion. Somer knows life will change with the adoption but is convinced that the love they already feel will overcome all obstacles.
Interweaving the stories of Kavita, Somer, and the child that binds both of their destinies, Secret Daughter poignantly explores the emotional terrain of motherhood, loss, identity, and love, as witnessed through the lives of two families—one Indian, one American—and the child that indelibly connects them.

New results are available on dxomark.com for the Tamron SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II XR VC LD Aspherical IF lens (Nikon and Canon mounts). This new review, along with our recent review of the Sigma 17-50mm, completes a set of measurements for trans-standard luminous lenses.
Speaking of the Sigma and Tamron 17-50mm lenses, here are some interesting comparisons:
The results for both the Tamron and Sigma models are very similar, with the Sigma only very slightly better than the Tamron over the entire focal range. Of greater note is that both lenses are exceptionally good when compared to the Nikon 17-55mm and the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, which are twice as expensive!
Even with slightly better results for the Sigma, the Tamron lens remains a serious contender.
At center, its resolution is good up to 35mm, and dips only a bit at 50mm, while still providing satisfactory results (50 lp.mm across the entire focal range). However, the Tamron's resolution drops a bit quicker than for the Sigma 17-50mm.
Tamron controls vignetting and chromatic aberrations very well— the latter particularly so, especially when compared to its competitors. At 17mm, however, there is more distortion for the Tamron lens than for either the Nikon or Sigma models.
Overall, the Tamron 17-50mm rates a score of 13 for image quality, which by itself would put it in a good position to compete in the wide-angle zoom category. However, in terms of other considerations, such as build quality, the Tamron feels a bit too plastic to compete on the high-end market where it's supposed to be. The focus and zoom rings operate smoothly, but the focus path short length makes it somewhat difficult to use. The non-rotating front element, however, will work nicely with polarizers.
In summary, if you are looking for a stabilized luminous lens kit at a lower cost, either the Tamron or the slightly-superior Sigma will work well — especially since both lenses deliver better image quality than the more expensive Canon or Nikon 17-55mm.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The 17-50mm lenses, equivalent to the classical 24-70mm for the full frame cameras, are at the heart of Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Tamron's catalogs. But, even if all vendors are eager to offer the best high-speed wide-angle zoom for APS-C cameras, apparently Sigma managed to beat them all. |

Looking for a luminous lens kit? Choose Tamron or Sigma!
I agree, I have sony version o Tamron 17-55, according to my tests it`s better than Sony 28/2.8 & 24/2.8, at 50 mm Tamron have the same sharpness as my plastic fantastic Sony 50/1.8 but Tamron colurs are much better. Tamron gives the same quality pictures as new Sony 16-50/2.8, but aslo Tammy is half a price.

The Last Stand (2013)
The Last Stand Synopsis
Action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his much-anticipated return to the big screen in Korean director KIM Jee-Woon's hard-hitting U.S. directorial debut,
The Last Stand
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.
With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever.
At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

Peter Stormare Could Square Off Against Arnold Schwarzenegger In The Last Stand
While I would hate to sound like I'm minimizing his talents, Stormare is at his best when playing a villain, or, at the very least, someone unhinged. Hopefully the script calls for his character to be a complete psycho that Schwarzenegger has to put down like a mad dog. The question remains, however: if you have Schwarzenegger as the hero and Stormare as the muscle, who do you get for the big baddie?
