I am really satisfied with this lens. I usually prefer prime lens, but there are situations when a reasonable zoom is more then welcome. I use this lens for photo reportage, such as various events going on in my area or for wedding photography. And because it is so conviniently compact (certainly more compact then two or three primes in a bag) I like to have it on me whenever I go out with my camera for just-in-case times. There is indeed some barrel and pin cushion distortion at either end of the zoom and vignette too, but since these sweet little imperfection are very subtle, it is fine with me. On most photos you wouldn't notice, and for some of us this is what makes a photo look like a photo, right? But it removes easily in any decent photo editor if you wish to. Some people complained in their reviews about focus speed - they say that this tamron 'hunts' a lot. Well, I can't agree. I had a tamron lens once (it was for Canon and for a samller chip at that), which 'hunted' so often it made me sometimes really desperate. But I have not experienced any hunting with this lens yet. And I already took lots of photos in a very low light indeed. I simply love this lens!Read full review
good lens if you are not looking for group photography. Sharp and easy to use. The lens hood could have been designed better as it is not straight forward attach. also the lens should have had a mark for mounting on camera
the pictures were as sharp as I had hope for, but this lens is fine for general use. But if you are doing portrait and modeling shoots, and if your budget allows, you might want to look for another lens. I had my other less stolen, so this is what i have to use, until i save up...you still will get use out of this lens. i like it

This is a superb lens. Fast, incredibly sharp at all focal lengths and apertures and compact enough to carry anywhere. Nikon or Canon's big, heavy (and extremely expensive) 24-70mm pro zooms might just shade it in lab tests, but in the real world, this is more than a match for them.
Great lens ,just don't like the warm color tone, but just set a custom function an you are 😊 good
