Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Lens - Canon EF SP17-50 F2.8XR DI II review

The build quality is typical for a consumer grade zoom lens although Tamron SP ("Super Performance") lenses are actually intended to target the high end market. Most of the lens is made of good quality plastics based on a metal mount. The zoom ring operates quite smoothly.

We look at how a third party kit lens stacks up to a first party one.

Tamron's 17-50mm F/2.8 lens is a good upgrade if you own an entry-level or middle-of-the-pack camera, as it can provide a noticeable jump in image quality, as well as better performance when shooting in dim lighting conditions.
Pros:
  • F/2.8 aperture
  • Good upgrade for entry- and mid-level camera bodies
Cons:
  • A little bit pricey

Great for cameras with built in focus motors

The product is great because it has a very wide aperture for a zoom lens, without breaking the budget! It's also a constant f/2.8, so you have great aperture even when fully zoomed in.

I love this lens

I am a Sports Photographer and I got this lens to go on my backup camera, Canon 7D. I used to have just a kit lens but with this lens things are so much better. I would recommend this lens to anyone shooting a cropped sensor.
