Using the search page has its limitiations:
- Unfortunately, the sample size is usually a little small if you filter to specific camera models. For the Tamron 17-50/2.8 on K-30/K-50, the database returned 20 images.
- The photos that popup are rather small and appear to have been munged down by the forum software. This is a kiss of death.
- The results are limited to attached photos and gallery uploads. Most photos posted here are hosted elsewhere.
I did a search for the FA 77/1.8 Limited on the same cameras and was similarly underwhelmed. There was no pixie dust.
Before you pound home the coffin nails for the Tamron 17-50/2.8, you might want to do an image search for the same lens on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tamron%2017-50

(...having looked at the Flickr results, I am seriously wondering why I don't own the Tamron...
