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.

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.

Designed for APS-C cameras but with a pro-spec build quality, this sub-£500 optic is a good update to an already popular lens

I bought this lens in Edmonton from the new Vistek store in August this year. I thought that I would try it out first. The bench test reports are true to their words. This is an excellent lens and it only cost a fraction of the Canon brand. I realise the Canon lens has IS.

Best everyday zoom lens Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
The Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 SP XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] is a very serious performer capable to deliver very sharp images at all focal lengths. Vignetting and distortion are about average for a lens in this class. CAs are a bit on the high side towards the short end of the focal range.

Excellent Seller
In one day after placing the order i realized that the UV filter i chose was wrong. They replaced it with a right one (which was more expensive) and did not charge me additionally! The camera and lenses were in brand new condition. Delivery was fast. The price was amazing.
Pros:
- Very fast and flexible
