One of my favorite things Dec 01, 2008
A really nice lens, great fun, great shots, a little slower than f2.8 more like f4. But still for the price it's great. At 17mm, not a huge wide angle effect, but still great for street shots.

Super-sharp + super-fast = SUPER LENS Nov 23, 2008
WOW! The quality of my photos just went way up. I needed a good wide angle lens and instead I got an awesome ultra-wide angle lens. This lens is fast, quiet, and produces sharp images. I use it on mu XSi to produce some poster-sized prints. One can tell that the lens construction is very good, but not so heavy that you have use a tripod. It takes a 77mm filter, so it is big, but not bulky. I just can't say enough good things about this lens...apparently others can't either. Get one while the price is low. Retail on this lens is over $800...I got mine for $300 and I am very pleased.

A very nice lens Oct 08, 2008
Very sharp, sharper than I had expected. The build quality is decent while size remains fairly small. I also like the fast 2.8 which beats the canon's 17-40mm. And it is very cheap!

Vignetting is obvious on full frame bodies, especially with a filter screwed on, but most of this type of lenses are like that.

Terrific lens at unbeatable price! Oct 01, 2008
Exactly what I was looking for for my new Canon EOS 40D (also an Amazon buy). I own two other Tamron AF lenses. Tremendously pleased with Tamron's quality, warranty and service (the one time I had to use them, and it was my fault, and they charged NOTHING to repair it).

I comparison shop a lot, for items like these. Amazon's hard to beat in terms of price and trust! That's why I keep coming back.

Sharpest lens I've ever owned Sep 11, 2008
I had just received this lens the other day from Amazon.com and immediately attached it to my Canon XSi and was suprised at the sharpness of this lens compaired to the two canon Lenses I have. I took a few pictures in our back yard and at Herrick Lake, (see some of my Photos). Again I was just amazed how sharp this lens is. I noticed the Pics. were sharpest closed down to about F5.6. The lens feels solid and the focus is fast and quiet.
the other lens I had in mind before purchasing this one was the Canon 17-40mm USM wide angle but at 200 bucks more and some bad reviews I read I picked the Tamron 17-35mm Lens and was happy I did.
A 1.6 crop factor makes it a nice carry around Lens. I leave it attached to my XSi. For a fine quality lens at a moderate price, pick one up for about 300 bucks. This lens also has a 6 year warranty which is great if the focus motor should ever go out.

Viewing the images on Amazon are in rather low resolution but some of the close ups can give you a good Idea of the quality of this lens.
