I bought the lens in June 2008 and have travelled wide and far with this attached to my Canon XTi. For an amatuer like me who uses auto focus and other auto settings most of the time it has worked perfectly well. I have taken some amazing pictures and have receievd compliments even from accomplished photographers. I am very happy with this. If you are very tlented professional photographer I cannot say how it will perform. For my purpose it servs me well. Now the lens have migrated from my Canon XTi to Canon T1i. I haven't got a chance to use it on T1i yet. Cannot wait to take it on a trip and click away.

after research i figured the lens would be pretty good, but after testing it out for 2.5 weeks, i was very disappointed in the quailty of my pictures. pictures weren't as sharp as i would have hoped they would be. i ended up returning the lens.

I have used this lens for a while now ... since 10/07, and I recently scratched it on a hike up a volcano. Now I have to replace it, and I will probably go with the IS version (or whatever they call it at Tamron). It's a really nice little lens, and the problems described in the reviews I've read overstate the issues. Here are a couple of pics taken with this lens on a 40D.[..]
