Comparing the photozone tests of the Tamron 17-50 vs Canon 17-55 the Tamron has a better: * MTF average, * distortion average and * less vignetting too. Too bad it loses at CA. It looks kind of like my old 24-135. Not bad for $449 vs $1179 and 434 g vs 645 g carlk wrote: > USM, FTM are nice but IS is a must for me. The difference is > between you make the shot or not.
