This Lens is Widely & Highly reviewed across the world wide web & international press, just type in "Tamron 17" on google & check the results!Absolutely Pin-Sharp fom F4 onwards (& Great at F2.8) across the Frame, Canon (or Sigma) has Nothing to match it !The closest Canon has, is almost Double the price (although it does have IS - But this Does Not Freeze Action!)Buy yourself a £30 Manfrotto Monopod, Gain better Results, & Pocket the difference!I recently used this lens around Las Vegas for "Available Light" shots indoors (particularly the "light shades" in The Wynn), The Results are Outstanding!(My L lenses only made a Brief Appearance)
OK, the Zoom ring works the opposite way to a Canon, but this is not an issue, what you see, is what you get !
Some talk about AF noise "whining" Again, not an issue, do not be fooled!.OK, the Canon USM are quiet, but No problem on My Canon 40D & 400D (XTI)& focusing lightning quick.( Much Quicker than Total MF, for those of us that remember!)
Buy this lens with Total Confidence, you will not be disappointed!Why not check www.flickr.com for some superb results with this lens?
