Comments about Tamron Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical AF Wide Angle-Tele Zoom Lens with Hood for Canon EOS - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

This does have some vignetting with the full frame Canon 5d. It was under $100, and works just as good as a lens 3 times that much. It COULD be used for studio photography (as I have) but higher quality glass would be better suited.

Comments about Tamron Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical AF Wide Angle-Tele Zoom Lens with Hood for Canon EOS - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

Just okay; does okay when used for wide angled landscapes or portraits, but nothing spectacular. Not quite as sharp as I'd hoped, but not terrible either. Decent for the price.

This is a good lense. Works well in low light conditions, and it has a perty fast auto focus. I use it more than the one that came with my camera.

Comments about Tamron Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical AF Wide Angle-Tele Zoom Lens with Hood for Canon EOS - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

For the money, you absolutely cannot beat this lens! A few WB tweaks and the colors are great out of the camera. It is sharp, focuses decently in low light (with flash). I own a Canon 24-70 L and am amazed at the image quality coming from this lens. Because of its feather light weight I opt to use this lens for portraits sometimes.

Quick capture on 'auto' setting, bounced flash.

Excellent Value, excellent performance
By TomVerified Purchaser from Stony Point, NY on 1/21/2008

Pros:
Easily Interchangeable, Lightweight, Sharp Focus
Best Uses:
Back-Up, General Use, Upgrade
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Tamron Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical AF Wide Angle-Tele Zoom Lens with Hood for Canon EOS - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

I am a hobbyist who's been using this lens as my general purpose lens for about six months. For performance, I would compare this lens to the 18-55mm that originally came with my camera where the ranges over-lap (though the additional 25mm zoom is outstanding.) Image quality is generally very good to excellent for my purposes (I have not performed lens benchmarks.) and would certainly suggest this lens to friends who were looking for a good, general purpose lens. And coming with a six-year manufacturer warranty, shows the confidence of performance and workmanship.

avoid it
By PeterVerified Reviewer from IN on 2/6/2007
Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
soft, dull colors
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Tamron Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical AF Wide Angle-Tele Zoom Lens with Hood for Canon EOS - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

This is a cheap zoom, and you get what you pay for. OK but not great at f/8, f/11 but even then, the colors are dull. Very poor at f/5.6 and below. There is no point of using such a lens on a SLR/dSLR camera; a good PS camera will perform better. The Canon ES 28-105 is a major step ahead. If on budget, get the EF 50 f/1.8 prime instead.
