Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II VC DSLR lens
The Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II VC is a standard zoom lens designed for primary shooting duties. The lens aims to stand out for its f/2.8 designation, which is a fast, open aperture designed for low light shooting.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
