"I did a great deal of comparison shopping on line before I bought this lens and thought it would be a good all purpose lens for my new dlsr. I was not disappointed. The lens is fast to focus, sharp as a tack, and shows excellent bokeh. [...] The build quality is very good for its price class...." Read Full Review »

"I purchased this lens with high expectations, but after using it for less than 4 months the zoom ring gradually began tightening up on me while in the middle of a wedding ceremony. Once at the reception site, the zoom ring jammed completely. As I tried to adjust it the ring it then loosened up, and now it rotates freely but doesn't actually do anything at all. I sent it to Tamron as it supposedly comes with a..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this primarily for it's speed (f/2.8). I have owned the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM for some time and have been fairly satisfied with it. However, after discovering what's possible in low light conditions with the "nifty fifty" (Canon 50mm f/1.8 - the $89 lens) I wanted to add another …" Read Full Review »

"This is the second Tamron lens I've purchase, the first I've had to send back for warranty. It stopped zooming. BEWARE! if you have any issues, even under warranty, tamron will NOT honor your warrenty. They will find reasons to charge you for repairs. "
