View Full Version : Been Told That This Lens is Highly Thought of fivealive 21 January 2008, 14:36 http://www.warehouseexpress.com/Images/tamron/afsp1750DiII_286.jpg Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 - to be used on a Canon 300D. Seems good value at £250? £137 from Hong Kong .. Much cheaper secondhand ..... Anyone any opinions? joni 21 January 2008, 19:36 This is the lens I use most on a 30D and I rate very highly. Check out the numerous on line reviews. Some rate the image quality in the league of the Canon 17-40L although build quality whilst OK would not compare. Depends what is most important for you and how hard you expect to use your gear. fivealive 21 January 2008, 21:14 Looking for crisp sharp images. Very light use - domestic. joni 22 January 2008, 18:44 Should be just the job then ;) fivealive 22 January 2008, 19:49 On my wish list :thumb: Sonic' 22 January 2008, 20:55 Is that a constant f2.8 ? Pumpkin 22 January 2008, 21:46 yes fivealive 22 January 2008, 22:25 Pretty impressive for the price ... Devildog 23 January 2008, 09:30 Pretty impressive for the price ... Pete - Just buy the damn thing FFS :lol1: fivealive 23 January 2008, 09:41 I will be posting the same thing in 18 months - you know that, just accept it ;) :lol1: :lol1: :thumb: Manners 23 January 2008, 18:34 Ive got this lens which is a lot better than the one Canon supplied but it has got known issues with front focusing i had to exchange my first one, and even this one can be a bit off with a large aperture. Sonic' 23 January 2008, 18:54 Its a good price for a constant f2.8 Ive heard good things about the Sigma Lenses in this range too, also constant f2.8 Pete it wont be 18 months, days or weeks but not months ;) fivealive 23 January 2008, 19:42 You missed out hours ;) |
