Nice cheap lens October 6, 2008

Nice cheap lens. One of those all-around everyday lenses for the beginner or a backup for everyone who got to be ready for sudden occasions. Ahaa, and by much, a lot better than the kit lens which comes with the Canon XTi. It could have been better constructed, but light and capable of taking decent images that will surprise even the best professionals.
 Its OK August 6, 2008

Well this lens is cheap (as we can see from the price). There is a reason for that. This lens is noisy, I didn't know a lens could make my pictures get noisier, but this one does. Shooting at ISO 100 I was getting noise equal to shooting on ISO 800 with an XTi. I do most of my shooting for the internet so it's not too big of a deal, but if I were to shoot with this lens for print, I would not use the images.
I will admit that it's nice that the lens came with a hood and for the price it's not bad. The plastic construction makes it feel really cheap (or light whatever way you want to take it). I would recommend this lens to anyone who needs something versatile and dispensable. I feel that if I were to be shooting in a mosh pit and this lens broke that it would be a small loss opposed to breaking a Canon lens worth at least twice the price.
If you want to buy a similar lens that is superior to this lens I would suggest taking a look at the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 DG AF Lens for Canon. The quality of the images from that lens surpasses this Tamron lens. If that doesn't float your boat stick to the tride and true canon lenses.
