This lens offered me the best bang for the buck as I am starting to do Weddings and events. I need a fast lens for low light venues and this lens does a great job. I have it paired with a Canon 7D and it has given me some clean crisp shots.

The kit lenses you get with digital SLRs aren't generally that good. They might be sharp enough, but their specifications and handling leave something to be desired. The Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 could be the answer, offering a significant step up in features, versatility and, perhaps, performance.

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

I am a Sports Photographer and I got this lens to go on my backup camera, Canon 7D. I used to have just a kit lens but with this lens things are so much better. I would recommend this lens to anyone shooting a cropped sensor.

I wanted a general purpose zoom lens for my Canon Eos XSi and after reading extensive reviews of various lenses I decided to try the Tamron to save a little money over the equivalent Canon lens.

Designed for APS-C cameras but with a pro-spec build quality, this sub-£500 optic is a good update to an already popular lens

This is the perfect lens for an upgrade from the kit lens. You'll be surprised at how much it increases the quality of your photos. I definitely recommend it as a staple lens for any photographer.
