Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC
The original Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 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.
Unlike the original Tamron 17-50, however, this lens can only be used on Dx sensor cameras. It cannot be used on full-frame cameras. I know somebody’s gonna 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.”
Roger’s Take: 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. And the 17-50mm VC is just as sharp as its predecessor.
