Product: Tamron 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 Di-II LD ASPHERICAL (IF) (Canon Fit) Lens
This Lens Really Rocks!! It delivers Pin Sharp Results across the full focal range & at all f stops, although f8 seems to give the Best Results.The Build quality is Superb & the Lens Hood (Supplied) is also Excellent.( Budget around £20 for a Canon Lens Hood of equal quality)
The AF is Lightning Fast & Super Quiet,& certainly on The Canon,it is marginally Short of the USM, but in practice, we are talking fractions of a second.The Tamron Brand, In my Opinion,is Hugely under-rated & as a Professional Photographer for over 25 years, I have used & own, many lenses, including L lenses & the Canon 10 - 22mm lens.I think this lens certainly equals it & in some areas, beats it !
On a recent trip to Las Vegas, this Tamron stayed on my 40D 70% of the time & the results (A3+) are superb!Do Not get bogged down with Lab Results !!
OK, the Zoom ring works backwards to a Canon, but with a DSLR, what you see, is what you get! NO Problem!
If you are thinking of buying this lens, have NO Hesitation, it really is Superb !! Highly Reccomended !!
