The-Digital-Picture.com have taken a look at the new Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di lens.

“Build quality is not rugged, but it is solid - very adequate I’d say. The included hood is similarly built. The rubber on the zoom ring is grippy, soft and deeply ribbed. The zoom and focus rings turn smoothly. Tamron’s rear lens cap only attaches at one position - a bit of a pain since I’m used to Canon’s 3 attachment positions. Tamron’s excellent center-pinch 67mm front cap more than makes up for this pain - I’ve considered putting these on my Canon lenses - And many of Sigma’s lenses desperately need them.”
