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

Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f2.8 XR Di II VC

The kit lenses you get with digital SLRs aren't generally that good. They might be sharp enough, but their specifications and handling leave something to be desired. The Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 could be the answer, offering a significant step up in features, versatility and, perhaps, performance.

Very food lens.

I have a canon eod-1000 and this is the second tamron lens i'm buying to this camera. I'm happy with the buying the tamron lenses are good. If you can afford to yourself to buy an original lens of canon it's better. But as a tamron product it's A very good lens.

Most of the alphabet seems to feature at some point in the Tamron's full title, but these abbreviations promise plenty of features. SP signifies Super-Performance, based on three XR (Extra-Refractive) elements, an LD (Low-Dispersion) element and two Aspherical elements in its construction.
