I bought the Tamron when i upgraded my XSi kit lens. Excellent lens and i got it at a really good price so i couldn't turn it down. Haven't mounted my kit lens since i've had the Tamron.

Not without it's minor niggles, ie slightly noisy AF motor that is slower than HSM or USM, but all in all the Tamron is some of the best money I've ever spent. It's incredibly sharp, even at f2.8.

I have the same question. I have a nifty fifty and a 70-200 f/4L and the awful kit lens. I was thinking the 24-70L. Opinions? I really like the L series and would like to confine myself to L series lenses.

Yeah that's really my only gripe with the lens as well, the AF is quite noisy. But this can easily be overlooked with its sharp optics and good IQ wide open.

If 24mm is wide enough for you at the wide end then i say go for it. For me 24mm wouldn't be wide enough so it's a lens i wouldn't purchase since i shoot with an XSi. Now if i went full frame i would definitely consider purchasing it. Canon 450D | Canon BG-E5 Grip | Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 | Sigma 10-20 f/4.0 | Canon 50mm f/1.8 | Sigma 70-300 f/4.0 | Speedlite 430EX
