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 !!

The new SP AF11-18mm F/4.5-5.6 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF), an ultra wideangle zoom lens, is Tamron's first lens designed for exclusive use with digital SLR cameras using APS-C size image sensors. The lens provides reliable performance in a compact size to meet the needs of digital SLR camera users pursuing creativity in wideangle photography. The lens uses a new optical system specially designed for digital SLR cameras, in addition to the use of a glass-molded aspherical element having a large clear aperture, hybrid aspherical elements, and elements using such special glass materials as high index/high dispersion glass and low dispersion optical glass, for outstanding optical performance.
