I've owned the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 for few months now and I've got little to complain.


The picture are damn sharp and at it's 17' it's pretty wide. The only minus (if you really can call it that) is that, as noted above already, that the AV is quite noisy, but I think it add's character.


And, of course, it is a bargain!





Good luck! [Y]
