A Asférica IF SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC LD da Tamron é uma lente zoom telefoto amplo a moderado e de alta velocidade criada para câmeras digitais SLR da Canon com sensores menores. Ela abrange a faixa de distância focal muito popular de 17-50mm (equivalente a 26-78mm no formato 35mm de quadro inteiro), tornando-a extremamente versátil. O mecanismo VC (Vibration Compensation) da Tamron reduz os efeitos de tremido da câmera na mão (até 4 pontos), oferecendo um recurso de fotografia excelente em baixa luz.

A lente oferece nitidez e contraste impressionantes por toda a distância focal e faixa de abertura. Uma abertura máxima de f/2.8 oferece imagens aprimoradas por profundidade de campo superficial e transições suaves e naturais em áreas fora de foco da imagem. Além disso, essa lente fornece Garantia Limitada de 6 Anos pela Tamron (Apenas nos EUA).

As Lentes Di II foram criadas para uso exclusivo em câmeras digitais com sensores menores. Essas lentes não foram criadas para câmeras convencionais ou câmeras digitais com sensores de imagem maiores do que o tamanho APS-C (24mm x 16mm)).

I purchased this lens recently and had the opportunity to test it for three days. I was hopping to save some money by not having to pay for the much more expensive Canon 17-55. I did some close up testing on textured fabric and the results were disappointing. The lens was extremely soft at f2.8 and didn't become tack sharp until f8. This lens has a relatively solid build quality it but falls far short of what I would expect from a [$] lens.

    Comments about Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Lens:

    OK, let's be clear: for the price, this is a pretty decent lens. You can take good photos with this lens.

    Here are some things that have been bugging me for the past 7 months of ownership.

    * The AF is unreliable and inaccurate. And slow. NOT FOR SPORTS!
    * The focus ring goes from min to max depth in about 1/4 turn. Nearly impossible to focus manually, or during DSLR Video.
    * The F-stop might be 2.8, but I'd be interested in seeing the T-stop on the lens. The actual light transmission seems to be much less.
    * Color saturation is reduced.
    * Not very sharp.

    TL;DR - You get what you pay for.

      Comments about Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Lens:

      I've only used this lens on one occasion. I shot the NASCAR Nationwide Race at Texas Motor Speedway. It was a night race where i needed the aperture values to be low. This lens did incredibly well at capturing action shots of the pit stops during the race.
      I had read some reviews saying it was soft at 2.8. It is a bit soft(as are most at 2.8) but useable. However, it is extremely crisp between f/8 and f/16. I never really closed it down much more than that.

          Bought this lens by accident; meant to buy the 17-50 non-VC. Can't get a sharp focus with this lens on a 20D body. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I've been disappointed thus far. The Tamron 17-50 XR II Di is an excellent lens.

                As a video producer and filmmaker, I was looking for a basic kit lens for my backup 7D. This lens has a great range and is tack sharp. The focus is a bit slow, but that is really not a big deal for the work I do.

                  Comments about Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Lens:

                  As my title says, the focal length range of this piece is pretty decent. Use it as a walkaround lens and you'll be surprised how much it can do. Images are largely pretty sharp and focusing is acceptably fast as well.

                  The main drawback is that at 2.8, the images appear pretty soft. Images are alright at 3.2, but much better at 3.5 and above. This is a significant pity, since, if like me, you prioritize sharpness, then you'll arbitrarily forced to shoot at 3.5 and above. In which case, the allure of the 2.8 fast lens diminishes significantly.

                  Mine is the VC version. No complaints here.

                  And there's a very nice grip to the lens. Feels very good to the touch.

                    This is my first really high quality lens since I got my camera. After a lot of research I decided to go with this one. I currently have a 50mm and wanted something that would allow me to zoom out a bit and still be great in low light. The 17mm, works like a champ. I can almost put my lens on the subject and still get very clear shots. I'm sure I'll be using this one all the time.

                                      17-50 is a great range of view, but aside from that this lens falls short. It's wrist-achingly heavy, very gritty zoom, and 2.8-3.5 are unusable. Auto-focus is schizophrenic and shooting anything at 17mm is pointless. I bought this instead of a kit lens for my 60d because I wanted something better than a kit lens. I now, would rather have a kit lens.

                                      I've owned this lens for over a year now and find myself using it more than any other lens I have. The lens is very sharp and works very well in nearly every condition. My only complaint is the focusing is slow, especially in low light. When Tamron upgrades the focus motor to their new faster motor I will be one happy man. Until then I can't see myself shelling out $1000 for the over sized Canon equivalent.

                                      It lives up to the reputation. I've read that the non VC version has better sharpness, but I'm very happy with it. I shoot a lot freehand, so the VC is critical for me.

                                        This is a great replacement for your kit lens. I love the fixed 2.8 and ever since i bought my 50mm 1.4 I had to have this lens. It's a little loud but is super fast and is very sharp!

                                            17-50mm lens is mainly used for nature photography. The easy to use f-stop system and wide range of options allows for easy shooting and crystal clear shots. With the lowest f-stop option of 2.8, shooting stars at night allows for amazing images of the Milky Way. Not really sure what I do not like about the lens at this time. All in all, very happy.

                                            The best lenses are the ones that basically become "one with the camera." This lens does...for the most part. With the VC on, you can easily be distracted. It's a bit clunky and sort of jerks into place. If your shooting on the fly...it can be a bit annoying. However, in a situation where you would NEED to use VC you'll likely be shooting something that is NOT moving since it only extends to 50mm. Other than that the optics are great. The focus is a bit noisy compared to a USM lens, but I didn't notice it much during a session. If your into manual focusing, it's not too bad, but it feels a bit "sticky" when moving it slow. The build quality seems comparable to Canons mid-grade EF lenses. Lens feels very solid compared to some more expensive lenses. I am a very happy customer.
