I had many Tamron lenses over the years and love them.
Right now I have these two lenses to go with my D5300: Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 My question is will this lens Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 benefit me? Most of my shooting is landscapes and wildlife/birds. A lot of shooting is in low light. See my website: https://moskovita-photography.com/ The above are backups to my main outfit and for friends that go on some trips with me.

If you're talking about the unstabilized version, it runs rings around your 18-270 where their ranges overlap.

The unstabilized Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is way sharper than the 18-270, and has less distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration, so your landscape photography will benefit greatly.

Okay, this post is almost two years old but I have another question. I've now had this Tamron SP A016 17-50mm f/2.8 Di-II LD XR Aspherical IF AF Lens since then too and love it, but I just got a Nikon D700 in mint condition with a tad over 12K actuations just for Landscapes as I do a lot of those. Now if I'm correct, my current lens is only for DX Nikon, right?

Correct. The Tamron SP A016 17-50mm f/2.8 Di-II LD XR Aspherical IF AF Lens only projects an APS-C size image.
A 'Full Frame' equivalent would be a 24/70/2.8, but they're MUCH more expensive, and not quite as good as the Tamron 17-50/2.8.

I'm looking to buy a used prime Nikon 20mm f/2.8 off eBay. UPDATE: I might try my current lens before buying a FX 20mm f/2.8 https://photographylife.com/using-ni...-on-fx-cameras

So my next question is what would be best, a FX 17-50mm f/2.8 or fixed 20/24/28 f/2.8 for landscapes? I don't mind if it's a Tamron or Sigma.
