Nice lens for the price

If you are a photographer you should have either Photoshop or Lightroom which is a must with this lens. It is a good lens and the better the exposure the less you'll have to tweak, but I have yet to get a shot that I could leave untouched. Hence the 4...

Nice wide angle lens for the price, and with rebate the deal is even better. Seems to focus quickly, and is reasonably sharp from f8 up. Great for HDR shots,and Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom 4 already have a profile for this lens to adjust for the...

Could be Sharper at lower f-stops. Lens cap doesn't like some polarizing filters(doesn't stay on), but no biggie. Chromatic aberration can be strong but the new lens correction tools in either Lightroom 4 or Adobe Camera Raw can eliminate that problem...

Great lens for the price!

Inexpensive lens (compared to Canon) that can give you a view of the world that you won't get with ANY of the kit lenses. This is a wide angle lens without the "fisheye" view (might want to confirm that with the fishes). When using this lens with a...

It's not a Canon lens and therefore doesn't have the software that Canon provides with it's lenses that corrects for any barrel or pincushion distortion. Nor will the Canon software correct any chromatic abberation for this lens as it does for most of...

For Landscape or Anything that uses F8

The lens is for landscape photography so you would rarely use it wide open.

-Very Sharp @ F8 + -Excellent Build quality, feels very solid -comes with a lens hood. -cheaper than canon's

Good lens for the price

My first Tamron lens as well as my first ultra wide angle lens. This lens has a bit of a learning curve to it but can still produce very nice images. Hands down, better than the kit lens. One odd thing, the focus and zoom ring is backwards in...

Very low distortion. Good color. Comes with a lens hood. Nice telephoto range. Very bright in the view finder. Feels very sturdy. Zoom and focus controls very smooth. Half foot focus range (makes for some interesting effects).

Can be a bit soft at the 10mm range. f6.3 or smaller produces sharper images. A bit of chromatic distortion at 10mm, clears up about 14mm. Very simple to correct with software. Slow AF motor, but the search is very quick (does not over correct like...

Impressive wide angle

I've had a sigma 10-20mm recently and while that lens focused faster, sometimes the corners were a bit soft. on the tamron, the image quality is noticibly better, although the AF is slower, I guess thats not too important in a ultra wide angle.

good contrast, image quality

slow AF
