Tamron Lente 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD para Canon Digital

Comments about Tamron Zoom Super Wide Angle SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS Digital Cameras:

This is a good sharp lens but it is noisy and slow to focus. Jumps around a bit and is best on manual focus.

This lens is perfect for run and gun type shoots. I use this lens mainly for video work. The constant aperture at an f2.8 is killer. I don't have to make any extra exposure adjustments as I change to the variable focal lengths this lens has. The performance of the glass is superb. Glass is ideally sharp, colors on the warmer side, not too contrasty. However, there are some downsides. For instance the plastic housing of the lens which I dislike makes it a bit fragile and also I dislike the very short focus range the lens has. Like I mentioned I use this lens for video work so having a short focus range makes it difficult for me to pull/rack critical focus. At this price range though you really can't complain. If you're on a low budget, this lens will work very well for you. And plus it's hard to find a variable focal length lens at the range of 17-50 with a constant aperture f2.8 at this relatively low price. If you're on the fence try and at least rent one.

I've had this lens for a couple of weeks (attached to my Canon 60D). So far, no complaints about image quality once I figured out why I was getting so much vignetting.

Turns out my 60D does not have data for this lens so that it can correctly adjust for 'Lens Peripheral Illumination'...or vignetting. Took me a while to figure this one out, as I was initially very disappointed with how obvious this was on every photo I took...at both ends of the zoom scale.

So, apparently, if the 60D does not have data for a particular lens (and since this isn't a Canon lens, I'm not surprised that it doesnt...) leaving the default setting of 'Enabled' for this feature in the Camera settings causes some nasty vignetting of its own...regardless of the lens's propensity to vignette (or not). Once I disabled this setting, the images cleaned up nicely.

All in all, I am loving this lens. Very fast, nice shallow depth of field. Turning the zoom ring the opposite direction from my Canon lenses takes a little getting used to, but no biggie.

Love this Lens! Perfect for all around use. This is my most used Lens. I opted not to get VC for a clear picture so camera shake is a little issue if not used on a tripod.

I use my cannon 60D for video production, The addition of my new 17-50mm F/2.8 lens allows me to be even more creative/versatile during my Live Event coverage's. Awesome Lens!

I was using mainly a fixed lens (35mm) on my Canon T2i and wanted another one with a wider angle plus a bit of zoom. This was the answer.

I did some extensive research, read a ton of reviews and felt that this would be it even without trying it first. The contender was the Sigma semi-equivalent. The lens is heavier than what I'm used to, but it speaks to the sturdiness of the lens.

Images are tack sharp and the colors are vibrant. Happy that it came with a lens hood too. This will likely be the lens that stays on all the time - i mostly take shots of my children and people, but I like the flexibility to take some scenic shots with this one too.

This lens is just amazing at 17mm. No matter if open all the way to 2.8 or closed at 7.1 and more, it will reproduce sharp images and beautiful dynamic colors.
On the other side, I thought this Tamron could be used for portraits at 50mm and come close to Canon 50mm 1.8 Ii, but I got disappointed. Colors are not so vivid and bokeh is not as pretty as on Canon.
Built is OK, doesn't look cheap but doesn't look strong either. Plus, focus noise is loud, and that helps with impression that it's cheap lens. But image quality is what counts.
I have it for a couple weeks so far and in general, I'm happy with choice I made between this lens and Canon's 17-40mm.

I've only had this lens for about a week now and I'm impressed of the picture quality this lens delivers. If you are like me, looking for a lens that performs well for an excellent price, you should highly consider taking a look into this piece of glass.

The only negative thing I have to say about it is the focusing at times may be off.

I use this lens as my all around lens for my canon rebel T2i. I just began exploring its possibilities, and so far, I have had great luck.

Pros:

It is a significant upgrade in quality and clarity of picture from the kit lens.

It is fast, allowing more opportunity to take pictures in low light settings.

The auto focus is fast and does not miss shots (unless due to operator error) despite its slight noisiness.

Cons:

No Image Stabilization, which seems to be the biggest difference between it and the Cannon 17-55 f/2.8. I still maintain that at half the price, the Tamron is the better deal. (Many professional reviews noted that the picture quality is comparable for both.) With the fast aperture, IS is not as important, though it would be useful.

Noisy, but not obnoxious, focusing. It is noisier than my canon lenses, but I would not be afraid to use it in a quite setting.

Have not removed from camera since purchasing, the ultimate standard for reviewing any product. Takes great photos, easy to use, lightweight. Many more keepers when compared to slower lenses. 1st Tamron purchase, and making 2nd purchase later this month. Excellent quality and craftmanship, and a 6 year warranty. Top that Canon.

I am currently using this lens primarily as a tool to improve my photography skills. What really turned me onto this lens is that, even while I expect to improve things like framing, compositions, etc., I will be able to use this lens well into the future because of it's remarkable quality.

What I really like about this lens is the image clarity, the speed, and the heavier weight of the lens, which suggests a quality lens even before using it it in the field. All of these elements combine to make a very solid, capable lens in my opinion.

I love this lens! Its attached the body of my 7D at all times. The autofocus is not so great in low light conditions. However, you can't beat the price!

I'm more of a hobbyist photographer, but certainly more into it than the general soccer dad. I decided to purchase this lens with a T3i body. My thinking was that I'd get better photos for slightly less than if I went with a 60D with a stock lens. And I feel I made the right choice. It does well indoors, the optics are crisp, and the focus is fairly fast. No complaints. And it came with a lens hood; a very nice surprise since the threads are larger than any other lens I have.

My new Tamron 17-50 2.8 sits proudly on my Nikon D7000. The images it produces are simply fantastic at all f-stops. The lens is well-built, has a solid feel and is light weight. The focusing is not noisy at all and locks into focus very fast. I highly recommend this lens for anyone wanting a fast, quality lens in a wide to medium zoom range at a very attractive price.

Comments about Tamron Zoom Super Wide Angle SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS Digital Cameras:

I was excited to see a 17-50mm zoom that was an f2.8 all the way through for less than $500. I've used the Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 a lot, and needed something similar for my APS-C sensor sized camera. This Tamron lens really is a great bargain.

The lens is sharp, and feels sturdy. The ability to open your iris up to a 2.8 is great for low light situations, and the bokeh from the lens is beautiful.

If you're looking for a fast & wide zoom lens that won't break the bank, look no further.

I bought this lens as an upgrade to the kit lens on my Canon Rebel xTi. It's got a great zoom range, is simple to use and still has great portrait abilities with the 2.8 aperture.

This was highly recommended to me and it lives up. Now this and my 50mm are my go-to lenses.

Comments about Tamron Zoom Super Wide Angle SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS Digital Cameras:

Very sharp lens, quite fast autofocus, if you are going to shoot in low light go for the one with the VC. in general I am very happy with this lens it's a great upgrade from the kit lens.
