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.

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.

Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Lens - Nikon F TAA16NIK review

I've owned several copies of this lens. Initially, I used it on a Nikon D40 as a lightweight travel lens. I moved on to a D200, D300, and D7000. It performed best on the D7000. However, I moved to a full frame camera (D700) and sold my last copy.
Pros:
  • Sharpness
  • weight
Cons:
  • Focusing speed isn't extremely fast
  • but it hasn't been a problem.
