Digital camera reviews of Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A Good Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Tamrom AF 17-50mm F/2.8 for its shallow depth of field throughout the focal range and AF in low light photography to replace my Canon kit 18-55mm. It has performed very well in most cases. It does focus in lower light and has the nice depth of field. Some reviewers have complained it's noisy. While it is compared to the USM Canon I found it not bad and have forgotten about it most of the time I shoot. The barrel does turn opposite Canon for zoom but that hasn't bothered me any. I've had significant chromatic abrasion in one shot of over 1,000 shots and minor vignetting on occasion. I miss the IS from my Canon kit lens and have had some shots blurred by camera motion. But that is only a factor when I have to move quickly to a shot. Overall I'm very happy with the lens. I have the depth of field and better low light AF I bought it for. The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Len would be much nicer but at $500+ higher cost. If you're on a budget like me buy the Tamron. If you want and can afford better buy the Canon.
