Quote: jgredline: The Tamron 28-75F/2.8 is one of those lenses that has a huge cult following and growing. It is truly an amazing lens. This lens also has a huge following in the canon world as well..
It has earned its following too. It is also a Full-framer, making it even more appealing. I've been hanging onto my 17-50; it is my go-to hiker lens. But this lens makes me want to pick up a prime in the 20-24 range, sell the 17-50mm, and buy the 28-75, thereby making indoor people shooting a joy with the extra 25mm (f 2.8) on the long end.
Funny, on FF, the lens covers roughly 18-50mm, which was its original purpose. With APC, a need arose to make the 17-50 Tammy. LBA can not be stomped out.
