I bought the Tamrom AF 17-50mm F/2.8 for its shallow depth of field throughout the focal range and AF in low light photography to replace my Canon kit 18-55mm. It has performed very well in most cases. from Amazon.com This is one of the best purchases I made after I bought my Rebel XSI. I sold my kit lens (which wasn't a bad lens at all) and went for this one after reading all the great reviews. from Amazon.com The Tamron has replaced my kit lens (22-55) that came with the Rebel XT. Pros: from Amazon.com I looked at lenses for months trying to figure out which was the best to pair with my flash for indoor pictures of kids. I had the Tamron 18-200mm and while I was happy with the reach it focused way too slow and the aperture was 3.5-6.3. from Amazon.com I really like this lens. It's very sharp and produces fantastic results with my 40D. from Amazon.com This lens does not seem to get the credit it deserves. It is very sharp, especially at f/4 and smaller apertures. from Amazon.com This lens does have issues, as you will soon find out by reading other reviews. Focusing in dim light is problematic. from Amazon.com I'm returning my second copy of this lens due to severe front focusing issues. I've done some research and found that Amazon was given a bad lot. from Amazon.com Tried and really wanted it to work, but the first copy had severe problems with focusing, most images came out soft, front focusing issues, slow focusing in low light. Tried a second sample, a little better, but still not acceptable. from Amazon.com This is a fantastic lens for the price. Since I got it it has been on my Xti(400D) most of the time. from Amazon.com
