Tamron AF 28 75mm f 2 8 SP XR ZL Di LD Aspherical IF for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Tamron applies the Di (Digitally Integrated) logo to lenses with optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras, and this 28-75mm Di autofocus zoom lens is no exception. Boasting revolutionary downsizing XR technology, the lens is among the smallest and lightest models in the history of fast zoom lenses. In fact, it looks just like an ordinary standard zoom lens, but offers a fast constant maximum aperture that will reshape your photographic horizons. Specific details include a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, a minimum focusing distance of 13 inches, and a rotation-type zoom. As with all Tamron lenses, the 28-75mm lens carries a six-year warranty.

5 Stars High quality optics
I have both the Canon 24-70 and this lens. The quality and sharpness of the image taken with this lens is outstanding. I really can not tell them apart from the Canon (BOTH PIN SHARP). I use this on my back-up camera but it’s easier to carry around for a long period of time – much lighter. The build quality of the Canon is better and it is a much sturdier lens. The Canon has full time manual which I need when shooting weddings – I was concerned with damaging the Tamron which does not have full time manual. Overall this lens is an outstanding value – I would not hesitate to buy it.
4 Stars Great for indoor sports
I had problems taking indoor basketball shots with the f3.5 zoom, and this f2.8 zoom solved my problems at 1/2 the price of a canon.
4 Stars Good Value for a Fine Lens
Not having the change to spring for the Canon “L” equivalent, I did my research and decided this would more than suffice. Having used it for some recent photos, I can say it was a good decision. Build quality seems quite good and the zoom mechanism has just the right feel. Sharpness at normal aperatures is very good and even at f2.8 is not too soft on my Canon 20D. Should make a good ‘walkabout’ lens and even a credible portrait lens at 60mm+ (although it is hard to beat the portraits taken with my 50mm f1.4). There is a little autofocus searching under dimmer light conditions, but not bad and certainly not a problem for normal landscape photos that I like to take. Comes with a short hood, unlike many Canon lenses. My first Tamron. Nice job Tamron!
4 Stars Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8
I’m a novice photographer and for me this was not only a steal but a huge upgrade. Seems on par with the standard Canon line of lenses in terms of construction.
