Drb5… I love your signature! I quickly realized the same thing after selling my 24-70L for this lens (and hopefully a wide angle). It's truly wonderful and performs like a dream!

hello fellow 24-75 users. i had a question about shutter speeds with the 28-75. i know my tamron 17-50 2.8 didn't do well with my hand held shooting style to me with anything under 1/200. i mean i still could get good shoots under 1/200 but i really saw the sharpness drop off. i was wonder are tamron 28-75 users have any fear at shooting at 1/60, 1/80, 1/100...

i shoot 1/3 hand held.. it depends on the photographer, i have a pretty rock steady style of shooting (i shoot a lot of gigs which some i need to shoot @ ISO3200 and then only get shutter speeds of 1/3-1/15..)

Surprisingly good! I shot a bellydance event the other week, which had absolutely terrible lighting and still got tons of usable shots, in fact only a few had misfocus. However, I must admit I had the 580ex on cam (set not to fire) to aid the focusing.

These are a few of the shots (softer on here for some reason - probably Flickr's fault). I had to shoot wide open and ISO 1600, although I should have used ISO 3200 since I had ended up pushing the exposure in Photoshop anyway.

Had this lens for a couple of months now and really like it but not sure if i'd have been better of with the wider 17-50. These shots (girlfriend and son) where taken on a recent short break..
Plz forgive the borders, i just resized them from my final prints.
