5 out of 5 stars A very nice lens   October 8, 2008
John Yu (Falls Church, VA United States)
Very sharp, sharper than I had expected. The build quality is decent while size remains fairly small. I also like the fast 2.8 which beats the canon's 17-40mm. And it is very cheap!

Vignetting is obvious on full frame bodies, especially with a filter screwed on, but most of this type of lenses are like that.

Exactly what I was looking for for my new Canon EOS 40D (also an Amazon buy). I own two other Tamron AF lenses. Tremendously pleased with Tamron's quality, warranty and service (the one time I had to use them, and it was my fault, and they charged NOTHING to repair it).

I comparison shop a lot, for items like these. Amazon's hard to beat in terms of price and trust! That's why I keep coming back.



5 out of 5 stars Sharpest lens I've ever owned   September 11, 2008

I had just received this lens the other day from Amazon.com and immediately attached it to my Canon XSi and was suprised at the sharpness of this lens compaired to the two canon Lenses I have. I took a few pictures in our back yard and again was just amazed how sharp this lens is. I noticed the Pics. were sharpest closed down to about F5.6. The lens feels solid and the focus is fast and quiet.
the other lens I had in mind before purchasing this one was the Canon 17-40mm USM wide angle but at 200 bucks more and some bad reviews I read I picked the Tamron 17-35mm Lens and was happy I did.
A 1.6 crop factor makes it a nice carry around Lens. I leave it attached to my XSi. For a fine quality lens at a moderate price, buy it. This lens also has a 6 year warranty which is great if the focus motor should ever go out.

With any lens you purchase you may receive a bad copy. If so do return it immediatly for a replacement.





5 out of 5 stars Excited so far...   June 25, 2008

This lens definitely meets my expectations so far. I ordered the Canon EF-S, without realizing it wouldn't fit my 10D without modification (which I was unwilling to attempt). So I finally decided on this lens over the Sigma, and I must say that it's giving me much better quality output from my camera than I've ever had. I was *this* close to getting an entire new system, but I have no problems out of my current one other than the fact of age...and a few more megapixels. I just can't believe it's taken me so long to get a better lens for my wonderful camera.

I received this lens for Christmas(was asked what I wanted and I said this lens) and so far the image quality is outstanding. I know this lens is a little bit older than say the Tamron 17-50 and several other Canon lenses that I checked out (including the new Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) that, like this lens are made more for the DSLRs, but this one won out due to the great reviews that I've read that say that the optics in this lens compare with the L Series Canon lenses and after vewing the results I can see why. With a f/2.8 it's an extrememly fast zoom lens especially in low-light situations. The price.... roughly $290.00 is terrific for a lens of this quality. My advise .... don't hesitate buying this lens!
