Can decide between Tamron lens

I was also looking at the vc version of it but not sure if I need it and if I want to spend the extra 160 for it. I don't have IS on my 50f1.8 and I never have an issue with it.

Depends what you shoot. I love my 28-75, but my main subjects are my kid, portraits, family activities and so on, so the focal range is perfect. I paired it with a Tokina 12-24; I really enjoy the Tokina, but in the end I haven't used it much. If you shoot a lot of wide-angle subjects, go with the 17-50. But if your main focus is people, it's hard to beat the 28-75. Awesome lens in every respect.

It's also 1.8 vs 2.8. The non-VC is sharper however.

Same here, I like 28-75 on our Rebel, good for portraits and to walk with kids.
Works for indoors, but not so wide for landscapes some times.

Also a 28-75 owner here. Love the range for people shots, though doesn't get used as much as I've started to shoot with a pair of primes instead.

That is true. Another big difference which I forgot to consider.

I'll pick up the non-VC version once I get home from my work travels.

I just don't think I need it since I'm usually good with not shaking the camera.
