Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC for Canon

Available Today

937510004856

The original Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 has for years been considered one of the best bargains in a wide-angle zoom available. Now Tamron has added their excellent Vibration Control system to make a really good lens even better. If you haven’t shot a wide angle with Vibration Control you’re in for a treat: handholding a lens for 1/6 of a second and getting a sharp image is pretty cool.

Only Works With: Crop sensor cameras (T3i, 7D, 60D etc…)

For years the original Tamron 17-50mm was considered one of the best value lenses on the market – as sharp as any brand at a much better price. Its successor isn’t considered cheap, but the addition of Vibration Control is really worthwhile. If you haven’t handheld 1/5 second exposures before, you don’t realize how many cool things that adds to your photography. Most reviews have found it better than the Canon 15-85 IS, although it doesn’t have quite as much range.

Now, I know someone is going to do this, so raise your right hand and repeat after me: “I will only order this lens to use on my crop sensor camera. I will not order it for my full-frame camera.”
