    A LOT better than the kit lens, a little post process touch ups for the vignetting and it’s good to go!

    It depends on your own tolerance. It definitely makes a distinct higher-pitched motor noise when auto-focusing, so if you need to be able to take photos in extremely quiet settings then it may become an issue.

    You can always close the aperture a bit for those group shots. I own this lens (the non-VC version) and love it–it has become my walk-around lens. The option of opening up the aperture to f/2.8 allowed me to take some WONDERFUL low-light, indoor shots on my vacation this summer.

    Would this lens be suitable for taking group photos where the subject would be 3 of 4 deep? Or Is the depth of field to narrow

    I’ve got this lens, used it once on my old Nikon D80 for a wedding, daytime focusing was great, but night time, indoor (indoor lighting), the focusing was a bit off. Even thought it was focused on the people, some of the photos turned out to be out of focus. weird…

    but I do use this photo for the local paper and its great for $350 or so dollars. value for money. But I do admit the Nikon or Canon 17-55mm is much faster in focus and a bit sharper.

    thanks for the great review 🙂

    From what I hear this one is way better then the sigma.

    Great Review, Considering getting a new lens, either taunt between this lens or a fixed sigma 30mm 1.4, however I’d rather use this one as it has more zooming options, thanks!

    Good review! I’ve got the Canon 550d and I was considering the Tamron but decided on the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8. I heard that there are a few image quality quirks but what do you think?

    Hey Nice review.
    Could you tell me about the color and contrast when compared to canon 17-55 f2.8 or 15-85mm.
