What People Say

for quality and price it is a great lens. from Adorama.com customer reviews comparing the image quality of this lens to from Bhphotovideo.com i am keeping the tamron, it might be noisier than canons and has no is, but the image quality is right there with l glass, tad less resolution in shadows and slightly different color balance, but from Adorama.com i've only owned a dslr for no longer from Bhphotovideo.com the other lenses i have are canon ef 85mm/f1.8 for portraits, and canon ef 70-200mm/f2.8 is - the latter, i still try to find a good use for - it is a phenomenal quality lens, but it is just huge. from Amazon.com i couldn't afford the similar canon l lens that about double the tammy and many people recommended it over the similarly priced sigma. from Amazon.com i've taken some really nice photos with it and love to have it hanging on the end of my camera. from Amazon.com this lens is probably the most interesting among all the wide angel lenses available to canon crop dslr users. from Amazon.com this lens features a good zoom range, that gives us nice wide-angle scenics and groups, mid-range couple shoots, and acceptable head-and-shoulder shots. from Amazon.com it offers the best of everything except for a couple of things here and there. from Amazon.com
