Tamron's SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) is a high-speed, wide-to-moderate-telephoto zoom lens designed for Canon DSLR cameras with smaller sensors. It covers the very popular 17-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 26-78mm in the full-frame 35mm format), making it extremely versatile. Tamron's Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism minimizes the effects of handheld camera shake (up to 4 stops), providing a means to great low-light shooting.

The lens delivers impressive sharpness and striking contrast over its entire focal length and aperture range. A maximum aperture of f/2.8 delivers images enhanced by shallow depth-of-field and smooth, natural transitions in out-of-focus areas of the image. Additionally.

Di II Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-sized imagers. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras or digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size (24mm x 16mm).

Matthew ★★★★★

This lens is surprisingly sharp for a wide-range zoom, and the VC actually lets me handhold down to 1/15th of a second. It’s become my go-to for shooting indoor events without a flash.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The f/2.8 aperture handles dim restaurant lighting flawlessly, and the extra refractive glass keeps everything sharp even wide open. I’ve shot a whole event handheld without swapping lenses, and the internal focusing makes autofocus feel instant.

Mia U. ★★★★★

Went from a kit lens to this f/2.8 and the difference in low light is night and day, I can finally shoot indoors without cranking the ISO. The internal focusing keeps the front element still which makes using a polarizer way less fiddly than I expected. Auto-focus is a touch noisy but sharp as anyth
