Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Canon mount

Description: Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Canon mount lens. Used for less than a year, mint condition, always used with a filter. Glass is flawless, and no scratches on the exterior, hood, or caps. Comes with original box, manual, warranty, both lens caps, hood, Hoya UV and CP filters. This is a sharp copy with no issues and is still covered within Tamron Six Year USA Limited Warranty. I'm selling only because I got a new zoom lens with overlapping focal length range.

Price: $350 picked up, $375 shipped.

Location: Sacramento, CA.

Good deal! If I didn't just buy a 5D I'd be all over this as I've been finding my 24-70 too wide on the 40D lately.

GLWS!

Thanks Cal! I actually just upgraded to the brick on my 40D... did you mean that your 24-70 is not wide enough?

Haha, yes. I meant too long/not wide enough.

The 24-70 is awesome. But in my tiny apartment I have no room to "back up." In all other cases, it's awesome.

Thanks for the bump guys, I didn't realize there were so many Nikonians out there on the forum

Cal, I was debating on whether to go with the 17-55 f/2.8 IS instead, since I was afraid the 24-70 wouldn't be wide enough on a cropped body and too heavy for a walkaround lens. But I got a found a great deal on the 24-70, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus I have the 10-22 for when I need to go wider.

Seriously, me either!

The brick does get heavy after an afternoon of walking around with it, but the results are so worth it. Also having the 10-22, I thought the same thing. But I miss being able to carry around just one lens. I found myself switching between the 10-22 and 24-70 every 10 minutes because I needed the width of the 10-22 or length of the 24-70. Hoping that on a FF the 24-70 will be a perfect compromise.

Bump.
