    Love this lens.

    I bought this lens after reading quite a few reviews on line. All were positive, but this lens is no longer in production. From what I read, this lens has a better build quality and is much sharper. I haven't used the newer version but the side by side pictures that were posted do show the difference in photo quality. That plus the f2.8 through all focal lengths make this a great lens for the price.

    Good lens

    Focusing is a little on the slower side and a bit noisy, but overall great quality.

  • Great "walking around" & travel lens. Excellent Image quality.

    Sharp as a pin - images are actually sharper than my Nikon 17-55 F/2.8, which is a more expensive lens, bulkier, & heavier than this Tamron. Tamron colors aren't as good as the Nikon, but this is an excellent all purpose lens & very light, compact, & easy to carry.

  • Glad I was able to pick this lens up. It's on my camera most of the time now.

    Got my lens used and in good shape. Pretty happy with it's performance. Auto focus is quick and responsive. Images are sharp, build quality is good. Produces good low light images. Was in Niagra falls recently and took some night photos from our hotel room. I'll included some in the photos below. Very happy with this lens.

  • very good light weight mid range lense

    a very good mid range lense. the optics is much better then the 17-56 cannon kit lense and the lense is wider in diameter. it has a good feeling when zooming in and out and its come with a hood to protect against glare. its compact when it in the 17mm focal lense and it is light weight. it doesnt have a stabilizer so when taking video in 55mm focal lemgth things can get fuzzy

  • Amazing lens

    For this price this lens is stunning) Build quality is really good as well as image quality. Only one thing I don't like is that focus ring is moving while focusing but other then that lens is the best for its value.

  • Tamron SP 17-50 f/2.8 Di-II XR AF IF

    Very good lens for its price. Reasonably sharp. Little CA on edges with fully open apperture. No problem at all. But it is noisy. Oh man.. that motor is noisy, but AF is always precise. No BF or FF problem at all. Noisy, but precise.

  • High value with Tamron.

    I’m not surprised that Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 Di-II XR AF IF Lens is been one of the most common lenses at my photo-sessions, since it is light on weight and sharp on dark conditions, similar to the original version of Canon lenses, probably you may like it to have a stabilizer option, particularly for video production, but the cost of 2.8 lenses my increase considerably depending on it is brand, to my Tamron is a great option for a fast environment that requires to soon in and out, collect great images and work sharp, walking around with the camera hanging on my shoulder. I'm using it with Canon Cameras.

  • A very good lens

    Wish I could have come up with a more imaginative title but that really says how I feel. I bought this lens as a replacement for a Sigma 20-40 that my cat knocked off the counter onto a hard floor. The Tamron is every bit as good as the Sigma -- which was my favorite lens in my bag. It's also a good value.
