I shot a car I just finished building today. Its so amazing how much better this lens is than the standard 18-55 lens that came with my Rebel.

I only have to save up $2000 more to get my 70-200 f2.8 IS unit.  Yes, the Tammy 17-50 f2.8 is amazing. I got one used for $260 and it is by far the best $260 I've spent on a lens.
