Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC review
A standard zoom for APS-C, this is a direct competitor to Canon's 17-55mm f/2.8 lens...
Pros:
- Effective four-stop stabiliser
- f/2.8 constant aperture
Cons:
- Noisy autofocus
- Middling sharpness at edges

Bought Used, still great.
I bought this lens used from someone on here. He mentioned the dial was stiff and it is. It's not so bad but I have to get used to gripping it instead of just zooming with one finger. I don't know if that is normal for a new one or not.

Awful lenae. it does not focuss
After a couple of months I started having issues with this lense. It would not focuss. Sometimes i have to press the shooting button several times before i can take the picture. I am very unhappy with this lense. I recomend you not to buy it. Moreover. Dust comes into the lense.

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.

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.

Versatile Lens
"I've been borrowing my friend's TAMRON 17-50 (VC model) frequently over the past year and its great for what I do with my T3i. I do photography at a camp and this lens is super fast and sharp especially for the application.

Amazing!
This is the perfect lens for an upgrade from the kit lens. You'll be surprised at how much it increases the quality of your photos. I definitely recommend it as a staple lens for any photographer.

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
