Adorama's rating system did not disappoint with a E- rating I was unable to find any mark on the lens or anything wrong with it . The image quality from this lens is outstanding and has become my favorite lens

Great lens at a great price

Haven't had a chance to use this particular lens yet but it is replacing the exact Tamron lens which stopped zooming in or out using the zoom ring but  will zoom by  turning the focusing ring and pulling out on the lens simultaneously.  The old lens was used more often than any of my other lenses and I knew I wanted to replace it with the same Tamron 17-50mm lens.  Great bang for the buck.

Replacement lens

I love this lens. My pics are sharp and clear. Adorama is my go to for all my camera needs . They are the best.

Great lense on my D7200

The perfect upgrade I needed from my kit lens, work great!

Awesome

Good lens for the price but not a great lens. AF could be faster. It doesn’t snap to focus like the Nikon does. Images not as sharp as they should be from the reviews I read.

Good, not great.

This rocks on DX Nikons -- using it on a D90 and D3200 as a general walking-around-lens.  Very sharp and contrasty, especially at this price.

Excellent Lens

So far it is a high quality for a good price. I haven't used it enough yet to give it an extensive review.

High quality for price

Excellent lens for the money. Was a little surprised that it was made in Vietnam, but it seems to be the same quality as my old 17-50mm 2.8 that I had.

Great value for the money!

Tested for a week yet and so far so good. I love it
Just hold the camera firmly before releasing the shutter speed.and everything is fine. It's tact sharp.

Seems the body ie well built
However, l got my copy made in Yietnam!

Good solid lens. No lens creep. Full 2.8 all the way through.

Good solid lens

I love this lens.  Really sharp especially on a tripod.  The range is perfect for landscapes flowers people etc.

Great lens

Great Buy

I have no issues with the lens, but the lens cap does not fit on over the filter offered with this kit.  I would not recommend the extra money for the kit.  Just get the lens.

Lens Cap Won't Fit

After purchasing the Sigma 50mm 1.4 I was frustrated with my only wide angle option, a Nikon 18-55mm 3.5-5.6. I just was not getting the quality I'd seen others get on my same camera (D7000). I began looking at options, and ran across this lens. The price and reviews really had me excited, so I ordered a used copy. This lens is FANTASTIC. I really feel like I'll get many more years out of my camera thanks to the sharp image quality this lens affords me. I don't regret this purchase at all, and I especially recommend getting used gear from Adorama. The lens came exactly as they had rated it and I could not be happier.

Fantastic Lens

I've only had this for 2 weeks but have used it for a wedding and my family sessions!  I love the crisp shots I've been getting and the wide range it has!  Great lens for the price!

Great Lens!!!!

This is my first Tamron and also my first business with Adorama. The lens was delivered a day earlier than promised. I used it on my D7000, try to take the advantage of a $75 coupon offer. It's the version with built-in motor. Its focusing is quick enough, just like the speed of my beloved Nikon 18-200 and the noise is bearable. But it has too strong back focus from 17mm to about 35mm, rendering this lens almost unusable at wider apertures within this range. The back focus disappears at 50mm and gives pretty sharp image at center even with aperture wide open at 2.8. 

I fine tuned the autofocus in-camera up to -18 to give acceptable results at 17mm-2.8, but then at 50mm it's not focusing right and gives blurry pictures. After 500+ pictures, I also discovered that the left side one-sixth of the picture seems always more blurry then the right side.

I've sent back the lens and Adorama promptly gave me the refund. The customer representative handling my call was great. I will do business with Adorama again.

Too much back focus

Overall, the lens is a solid and reliable lens. It feels very durable but is on the slightly heavier side. It comes with a lens hood which is helpful. The only real problem i had was with the auto-focus, sometimes its really hard to change the focus of the autofocus. It doesnt work very well in low-light situations either. The bokeh is not too bad, at f2.8 you still get that blur and fuzz.

Pretty good and solid lens

Great lens!!!

I'm a casual photographer shooting various  weddings and  church events family portraits on locations. What I like about this product is its accuracy and its boldness an excellent wide Single for groups and Portraits. At a reasonable cost. I can't say anything bad about this lens. I find that it works for me. You give it a shot, click click Gotcha..

Simply AWESOME

Great all rounder for an APS-C camera. A really unbeatable value if you don't have the cash for a Canon/Nikon brand of this type of lens.

Great all rounder

I've had the lens now for about a week. Enjoy using it. Makes noise while focusing, but at least does it rather quickly.

Nice lens

My wife bought one of these lenses for her EOS 60D. After testing we found it a wonderful lens: lightweight, fast focusing, excellent sharpness and very little chromatic aberration.

After I traded my EOS 1Ds for a 60D last weekend I ordered another Tamron 17-50/2.8 for myself. After receiving and testing it this afternoon I decided to return it immediately. Nothing in the frame is sharp, even at 35mm and f/8 using a tripod. The chromatic aberration is terrible. Backlit leaves and branches are completely purple. My wife's lens shows none of these faults.

I would not recommend this lens to a friend. My wife got lucky with hers.

Inconsistent QC

I purchased this lens to take on a caribean cruise.  I needed a walk around general lens to use with my 7d.  Although the cruise is next month I have been pleasantly surprised with the lens so far.  I like the constant aperture, descent build quality and for the price I consider this a good value.

good value

What I like about this lens is the price.  Canon's version and even Sigma's version of this lens could be a bit expensive for some of us.  This lens definetily gives you more versatility than your kit lens, especially in low light.  What I don't like about this lens is that it is a bit soft below f4 (for my taste at least).  Also I found out that the zooming ring was a bit rough.  However I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore.

It's not you Tamron, it's me.

good stuff in a tiny package

used it to most of my corporate events, wedding videos and my trave shoot. i am convinced of the product ang given me good results.

price with quality whats good about this product. after a month of use, so far so good.

it lived to my expectation!

Fast and accurate but noisey autofocus. Beautiful image quality just a pity its casing is plastic however for the price it is an incredible replacement for 550D kit lens.

Brilliant for the price

Used on Wedding  & location portrait shoots, stands up pretty well. Works equally well outdoors with a ND filter and in dark reception hall lighting supplemented with a speed light or two. Economical substitution for the Nikon equivalent, and is lighter in weight, has worked well for the last 6 months, is one of my staple lenses for portraiture.  Moderate distortion at 16mm & f/2.8. Would & Have recommended.

Nice Glass

After search reviews and comments I decided to buy this lens. It's a bargain for what the lens do. I highly recommended.

Sharp, great light

My first photographs with this lens were fine.
It is my "go to" lens when I don't need a tele.
I can't think of a better buy in this range.
