  I personally buy from Adorama, Amazon, Ritz, B&H, Calumet và J&R. I can"t vouch for ads below.

This $600 Tamron has surprisingly good optics, but problems with its VC (VR or IS) and AF systems get in the way of good pictures.
I prefer my $200 Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, which is sharper, faster, smaller, lighter, focuses faster, easier và quieter, & is much less expensive. I"m not a fan of midrange zooms, but I must be the only one on earth who isn"t.
If you"re considering this mostly plastic lens, go for it. It works reasonably well — with one big catch:
This Tamron"s VR/IS/VC system works only if you have the time khổng lồ wait a moment before you snap each & every photo. There is a huge flaw if you make a photo before waiting a second for it lớn settle down. If you snap a photo without waiting for the VC/VR/IS system khổng lồ settle, it will blur your image worse than if you had no VC, VR or IS! This is because this Tamron"s VC system jumps as it locks and unlocks, so if you don"t wait a moment with your finger half on the shutter for it to lớn settle, it will blur your photo in the process of settling! Nikon"s VR và Canon"s IS systems don"t have this problem. This blurred a lot of shots for me before I figured this out. Therefore, this is a horrible lens for news, sport, action and people shots unless you turn off the VR/IS/VC system. If you don"t, và if you shoot at a moment"s notice, the VC system will blur many of your shots!
This Tamron"s other drawback is its primitive (noisy) internal autofocus motor, & that it uses a primitive AF system that requires you move a switch lớn get from auto to manual focus. You can"t just grab the focus ring at any time, as you can vị with the professional Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 DX & Canon"s 17-55mm f/2.8 IS.
Compatibility intro top
Warning: this lens is made completely without permission from Nikon or Canon. While it probably will work with your camera, there"s no telling that there won"t be some weird incompatibility, & there is always the possibility of incompatibility with future cameras you might buy two years from today. Canon and Nikon lenses don"t have this potential for problems.
When I say "ought to" below, I mean just that. All because this lens ought to work, doesn"t mean that it will. I"ve only tried it on a Nikon D7000, on which it works swell.
Nikon
Everything should work perfectly on every DX digital Nikon, even on Nikon"s cheapest digitals like the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100 & D5000.
See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details with your camera. Read down the "AF-S, AF-I," "G" & "VR" columns for this lens. You"ll get the least of all the features displayed in all columns, since "G" (gelding) is a deliberate handicap which removes features.
Canon
Everything ought khổng lồ work swell with every Canon EOS 1.6x digital camera. That works with EF-S lenses. This lens seems as if it ought khổng lồ work with very old 1.6x cameras that aren"t EF-S compatible, but I didn"t try any myself.

Tamron calls this the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF).

LD: Same as Nikon"s ED or Canon"s UD glass. Probably all comes from Hoya.
Aspherical: Specially curved lens elements.
IF: Internal focusing. Nothing moves, except the focus ring, as focused.

Overall performance top
The Tamron 17-50mm works fine, but only it you remember khổng lồ let the VC system stabilize before shooting. This is not a lens for grab shots with the VC system.
Autofocus performance top
AF Noise
This Tamron, at least in Nikon mount, uses a dinky electric motor to lớn move the focus ring. It sounds like a toy.
This is how Canon did it — back in 1987.
AF Speed
AF tốc độ is fast enough in Nikon mount.
The focus ring moves during autofocus, so keep your fingers off the focus ring during autofocus!
AF Accuracy
AF seems fine at f/2.8 at all focal lengths on my Nikon D7000.
Manual Focus
Manual focus is great; but you vị have to lớn move a switch.
Unlike the Nikon and Canon, you may not cảm ứng the focus ring until after you"ve moved the switch on the lens lớn MF. If you move the ring while in AF, you"ll be working against the motor built into the lens.
What Moves
Focus is internal, so nothing moves externally except the focus ring, which moves even during autofocus.
Bokeh performance top
Bokeh, the character of out of focus backgrounds, not simply how far out of focus they are, is crummy at 50mm. At 50mm, backgrounds are bothersome at all apertures.
I didn"t try at shorter settings; at shorter settings, depth-of-field is much larger so backgrounds are rarely out of focus khổng lồ worry about bokeh.
Here are crops from the center of 100% DX 16MP (Nikon D7000) images, focused on a reference phase lattice (the đen sides) at 3 meters (10 feet) with synthetic reference vegetation at 15 meters (50 fee). Printed full-image at this size, these would be about 50 x 33" (130 x 85 cm) prints, at least as seen on most 100 DPI computer monitors:

Caps performance top
The Tamron front cap is merely OK, although I"d leave it in the box và replace it with a good Nikon cap since the newest Nikon caps are much sturdier & easier lớn get on và off than the Tamron caps.
The Tamron rear caps for Nikon stink because you must stop what you"re doing và align them carefully lớn the dot on the lens before you twist them on. Forget it!
I"d use a real Nikon rear cap instead, since you can pop them on without having to stop & look.
Cleanliness performance top
This Tamron arrived sealed from the factory with more than the usual amount of white dirt specks on the exterior.
You"d never notice this, but in my laboratory"s clean-room where I open these và photograph them, I do.
Since I had lớn spend time spotting this out, I mention it here, because I hate wasting my time spotting-out dirt shipped by the manufacturer.
Distortion performance top
The Tamron 17-50mm has less distortion than expected.
It has barrel distortion at 17mm, and not much anywhere else.
This can be corrected for critical use by plugging these figures into Photoshop"s lens distortion filter. These aren"t facts or specifications, they are the results of my research that requires hours of photography & calculations on the resulting data.
