Recently I purchased this Tamron lens and am very pleased with the results.
Recently I purchased this Tamron lens and am very pleased with the results.
Granted, it is smaller because it stops at 70mm, but watching comparisons online, 5mm makes a huge difference on the wide end but oddly negligible difference on the Tele end.
So I knew I would have essentially the same lens utility but smaller. I care a lot about keeping my set on the smaller side so I use it more often.
But the Tamron is great and is the reason Sigma even made their similar version - I wouldn't switch if the small size difference isn't as bothersome for you.
And since the lens in this deal is part of a series for both Sigma and Tamron: Ironically, I picked the Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 for my wide lens because in that range, Tamron makes the smaller lens compared to Sigma's new 16-28mm f2.8.
So I'm not brand loyal, I think both are amazing value in this line of full-frame zooms. I don't like Sigma and Tamron's higher end lenses honestly due to weight of the metal, so I love their recent race to offer sets of full frame ranges in smaller bodies.

My reason for picking this Tamron was the price - $680 (15% cash back deal) + tax.
My next lens will be 17-28mm Tammy :-)
