 Good everyday lens August 30, 2010
danny
I purchased this lens for use with my Canon 40D with the intention of it being my carry around everyday lens. I had a Tamron 18-50 in the past that was a terrific lens. Unfortunately, this lens does not live up to the past Tamron lens. Picture quality is a bit on the soft side, and the focus is a bit slower and mis-focuses more than I'd like.
Overall - I feed the build quality is very good. The range is pretty good, I really like the 75mm at the long end, although wouldnt complain for a bit more on the wide angle side. The large aperature makes for a very shallow depth of field for excellent portraits and low light shooting.
On the cons side - the focus is slower and misses more than other Tamron's i've used in the past - and is nowhere near as nice a good Canon lens with an ultrasonic motor. Pictures are a bit soft, which is fine for portraits but not as good for landscapes or archetectual shots.
Either way this is a solid lens and for the price I am very happy with it.
A Step Above The Canon Kit Lens. August 13, 2010
Mike in STL (ST. louis, MO)
I purchased this lens two weeks ago from a reputable online merchant for less than $400.00. I have a Canon T1i with the 18 - 55 mm kit lens and the Canon 55 - 250 mm lens.
I compared the Tamron to the above lenses and my friends Canon 24 - 70 mm 2.8 L lens.
The L lens was a little sharper, focused instantly and was completely silent. The Tamron was sharper than my Canon 18 - 55 mm kit lens. From 55mm to 75mm I would say the Canon 55 - 250 mm is a little sharper than the Tamron.
The Tamron focus speed seems fine to me and I can tell no difference is the focus speed or sound than that of my two Canon Lenses.
I have noticed that my pictures are slightly darker with the Tamron versus all three Canon lenses mentioned above when using the same camera and lens settings. In addition, my Canon 430exII flash does not do as good a job with this lens as with all the Canon Lenses. The pictures are a little too dark.
I'm happy with the Tamron and consider it an improvement over the 18-55 mm kit lens but it's not quite at the Canon L level. I've taken some really sharp pictures with the Tamron and it will be the lens I keep on my camera. However, if I'm shooting indoors and need to use a flash I will use my Kit lens.
 Superb lens on my Canon XTi August 12, 2010

I've heard of a few instances where people have acquired a 'bad copy' of this
lens. My copy was superb. For 3+ years this lens has produced the sharpest,
most awesome images for me on my XTi. Mostly amateur but plenty of pro
work as well.
Cool lens August 7, 2010
L. OROZCO
I just upgraded to this lens from the kit lens that comes with the canon t1i. I'm quite happy with it. fixed 2.8 aperture no matter if you are on 28mm or 75mm is simply cool. You get to shoot photos in conditions where you'd normally need a flash (of course, 2.8 is not the best you can get...for example, get the 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 if you'll be shooting in low light conditions).
This thing is heavy, and kinda big compared to the normal kit lens, but it's very manageable and easy to work with. It's easy to focus as well.
I'm not an expert, and haven't used many lenses, but I like this one.
Works nicely with 5D July 29, 2010
Chelseafc4life (Canada)
I picked up this lens about a year ago, and used it on my 5D ever since.
The 28-75 range is great for a walk-around lens, but I am now looking for something to fill the void below 28mm for ultra-wide photos. On the full-frame camera, it works very well for street and landscape photography, as well as portrait photos.
The build quality is ok - feels sturdy and I don't have much of an issue with it.
Image quality is amazing - saturation and resolution on par, if not above the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L... which is 3x the price
There are or course a few things that could have been improved:
1. Lens creep - its very annoying when pointing the camera down towards the ground - the lens slowly will entend!!! It only has a lock at the 28mm end
2. Vignetting - When paired with a full-frame body, it is quite evident below 50mm
3. Autofocus - could have been faster, but for a third of the price of the Canon version, I'm not one to complain
Overall, I recommend this lens unless you need the absolute fastest AF and lens creep may be an issue for you. The quality of the images won't dissapoint you!
