After getting a new lens, the Tamron SP AF28-75 F/2.8 and tried it out for a couple of months, I must say that I’m impressed. First I was a bit disappointed with the sharpness at 2.8, but when doing some tests comparing it to my Canon 17-40mm f/4L lens, the Tamron blows the L lens out of the water when it comes to shapness. But the lens is noisy, and the build quality feels a bit cheap. Another annoyance is that the focus ring rotates when focusing. But I can live with these negative things, the image quality and price makes up for that. One has to watch out when buying this lens apparently. The quality varies from one lens to another, so make sure to test it before you put out cash.
