I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Tamron’s 17-50mm f/2.8 lens for Professional Photographer. Here’s a teaser from the article:
Tamron’s 17-50mm f/2.8 lens has a minimum focus of 11.4 inches (0.29 m) over the zoom range, with macro capability to 1:4.8. Equipped with Tamron’s proprietary Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization mechanism, the 17-50mm allows photographers to capture hand-held images in low-light conditions (up to 4-stops more than without VC) [...]
By the way, I did a comparison with/without VC, and the results were surprisingly apparent… so make sure to head over to read the full write-up, and to see those pictures.
