Item for Sale
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical [IF]

Asking Price
PRICE DROP ~~215.00~~ 190.00 USD

Item Location
Washington, D.C. (United States)

Item Description
Selling my well maintained copy of the Pentaxian favorite Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens. B+W 010 MRC filter optional, included for an additional ~~$20~~ $15.

This lens is a very sharp lens. In full transparency, when I first purchased it used there was an occasional issue with the autofocus, but I sent it in to Tamron where it received a full repair and cleaning. It has proven fully reliable and I would trust it for any job.

I originally purchased it from another forum member as an upgrade from the kit lens I got with my first Pentax body, a K-30. I bought it for the bright aperture, and to have a sharper lens - it did not disappoint on either front! The difference between the Tamron and the kit lens is noticeable, especially for landscapes. My gear preferences have shifted and I now shoot with a set of limiteds (15, 21, 43). The Tamron has been sitting on the shelf long enough for me to realize that I no longer need the flexibility of a zoom for the photography I do.

Some pictures below, and below that some sample photography with this lens.

Surprised this hasn’t sold since you had the common, know issue with this lens repaired.

I'm surprised too! Great lens for the value, as good as if not better than the DA* 16-50, optically.

I appreciate your comments! Here's to hoping someone wants to give it a new home.
