Another one thought in my mind is if i dont keep the nikon i can sell it and sell the tamron 17-50 and its place i will buy the nikkon 17-55 f2.8 they say is better optically and fuji needs good lens. but with tamron i am very very happy.

I would keep the Tamron if I were you. The Nikkor is too big and heavy.

Personally I would ditch the Tamron for the Nikkor. The Nikkor 17-55F2.8G is a bit heavy, but it has a special mojo when paired with the S5 Pro.

Due to it's strong AA filter the S5 craves sharp lenses and the 17-55 is very sharp in the center right from f/2.8. Color and 3D Pop with this zoom are excellent IMHO. It's by far the most flexible general purpose DX lens to have.
