Re: Anybody have experience with Tamron?

[Bob <w8imo@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the comments.    It looks like a Tamron is in my future.....

One more question:  I think I know the answer, no.   Is the VC which seems to be Tamron's answer to IS, worthwhile at the 17-50mm range?

Thanks again,
Bob

Does anyone have experience with Tamron lenses?  I am thinking about the SP 17-50 f/2.8  XR  Di II LD and possibly the
SP 17-50 f/2.8  XR  Di II VC LD.

I'm wondering about the usual things, build quality and  optical performance.

I have the Canon EF 17-40 f/4 L and it worked well on my EOS-3 and 20D but  I'm wondering about the results with my 50D......

Thanks. 
Bob
