Product Details

The Tamron 17-50mm Lens expands on the popularity of the AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di zoom, with a 17mm focal length that offers a wider angle of view than an ordinary standard zoom lens. Designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with smaller-size imagers (24 x 16mm or smaller), the 17-50mm standard zoom is extremely lightweight and compact for its speed. And with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the range, it delivers fast shutter speeds and a natural soft-focus effect that makes your photography even more sophisticated than usual.

	17-50mm aspherical zoom lens with f/2.8 maximum aperture for Canon DSLR cameras

	3 elements of XR glass, 2 hybrid aspherical lens elements, and 1 element of LD glass

Consumer Feedback

"This lens is quite sharp. It could definately be used for professional purposes. Sharp at 2.8 and much sharper above."

Actual customer feedback from Amazon.com

"The lens is well built and surprisingly light and compact. It doesn't have the solid L feel but still has a firm feeling that inspires confidence while shooting. Sharpness is at par with other top quality zooms, so much so that at F8.0 and above it matches many primes."
