Hi guys, anyone have both these lenses and can tell me how the compare at 24mm?

The canon is cheaper, but the Tamron covers a larger focal range.

Attaching to my 100D.

Cheers.

EDIT: I'd prefer to compare to the non VC now i've seen reviews!

According to The-Digital-Picture.com: http://www.the-digital-picture.com …omp=0&FLIComp=1​&APIComp=0 (external link)

The Tamron is sharper at f/2.8 but they are about the same stopped down.

I have the Tamron 17-50 non vc. It's really a great lens. Do a search, I remember when buying it, the consensus was that the non-vc was actually a better, sharper lens than the vc version, which is why I bought the non vc. I have a 22mm on my m. Personally, while the lens is razor sharp, I feel it's a little wide as something you would walk around with all the time.
