This lens came in the original box and does not appear to have ever been used. I am a photographic novice but I have been playing with it and having a lot of fun. I sell real estate and plan to use it most on interior photos for advertising.

Saved couple hundred dollars from the Nikon model, lens is a little stiffer, and movement a little less.

Great product, great price, good looking and easy to use. During a recent trip to Barcelona (where streets are very narrow) my 18-55mm lens didn't provide a wide enough angle to get nice pictures of entire buildings. With this Tamron lens I wouldn't have had that issue.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus

Big lens hood; Little distortion at ends

I have been using Tamron lens and have particularly a very good experience, the prices too are very commutative and obviously the picture quality is on par with the original , the price difference between the genuine Canon and Nikkon lenses to Tamron lenses are huge as Tamron would always stand the...

Initial Cost is far less then the original Canon and Nikon lenses

The only negative point I see is the requirement of UV protection film on the lens for protection

I am using this lens and can say its one of the best value for money lens.Image quality is excellent the the wide angle you get with the price you pay is superb If you are looking at a value for money wide angle lens you should have this lens

So far, I'm pretty impressed with this lens. I bought it for interior real estate videos and photos and I'm still learning, but it seems to do a great job. It's a bit dark compared with more expensive wide angle lenses, but I have an LED light that compensates for that.

I bought this lens for my wife... we like to travel and take hikes and landscape photography... the colors are wonderful and the space you can cover with it is amazing. I love the features in it and with my canon 5d works perfectly.

Great lens for the money. Clear at both ends of the spectrum, Worth getting. Appears to be well built easy to us ean d gives good results.

The lens is one of few ultra wide with ability to attach a filter. The photos are sharp, as long as you step down to at list f5.6. Also, I would recommend to stay away from including ceiling in the picture, it looks weird, like it failing down.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

your average wideangle lens. can do the job but not as good as the nikon/ canon brands. fun to use, be creative and the client will love it! i already used it in a wedding and clients loved it!
