The Tamron 28-70 is a great lens. It's on my camera as a walkabout.

You are better getting the new 18-55mm Tamron 2.8, which is pretty much ideal walkaround range and speed. The gap from 55mm to the 70mm on your L is irrelevant. how is the I.Q. compared to the 28-75. I'll admit I love the range on the kit but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.. so I'd definately be interested in the 18-55... anybody have any photos taken with it..?.. and how is the build? I just googled it and it looks a little cheap... Canon 30D BG_E2 Grip Rebel XT BG-E3 battery grip

I'm on a bit of a budget for the next year and while My work will be picking up the bill I still have to think moderately.. and I think Dave suggested the tamron 17-50 and i'm going to take a look at it.. I like the idea of the wide end... Canon 30D BG_E2 Grip Rebel XT BG-E3 battery grip

There is no Tamron 18-55/2.8 . . . there are only the 17-50/2.8 or the 17-35/2.8-4. ~Mark

Not, when it's so close to the focal length of the 17-50 2.8 that just came out this year. I got stuff for taking pictures. :o When things are unclear - It's time to refocus.

I think whoever brought up the 18-55 really meant the 17-50 i'm guessing a senior moment. it would make no sense for tamron to release this lens right after the 17-50 http://instagram.com/edraderphotography/
