Variable F-Stop range. 28mm on a non-full frame camera is not wide enough for those incredible landscape scenery.

I just sold mine last night after having it for 4 years. This was the first lens I purchased when I bought a used Canon D30 w/ 50mm 1.8. At the time I also needed a all in one sort of speak lens. This did the trick. I quickly out grew it for another Tamron brand 70-300mm Di lens, and it stayed in my camera bag ever since. Having to shoot a lot more indoor I began to look at a faster lens. Ended up with a Sigma 28-70mm F/2.8-4 DG, wow I disliked that lens and quickly sold that with a Sigma EF 500 DG ST (also worthless for me).
I had nightmares last night probably becasue I sold me baby. I know that the new owner will be extremely happy with that lens and treat it with care like I did.
I have no regrets and feel that If I had no money for any 2.8 lenses I will repurchase that lens time and time again.
Learning a specific lens positives and negatives you will never be surprised (Just dont compromise).
I have a new baby Im nursing... Sigma 24-60mm EX DG 2.8 with a newly acquired 550ex and a Sigma 500 Super... My journey has just begun...

The images this lens gives are brilliant and are pin sharp, Auto Focus is very fast, the lens is made of plastic but build quality is solid and very very good.

Wish it wasnt a 28-105mm zoom, wish it was 17-105mm zoom.

Bought this one used as money was burning hole in my pocket. I confused it with the 24-135 which is rated a 9.3 here in this forum. It is a good deal for someone on a budget needing a range nearly similar to the 18-55 kit lens but does not desire higher quality. Hey, what can you expect for less than $100?
Zoom ring is smooth. Colors are true. Focusing is very fast. It will hunt in scenes where the focusing points can not define clear edges or contrast. Satisfactory results inside a HS gym although not spectacular. I wouldn't recommend selling high-priced photos from this camera unless people don't care. I think that it does not do any better than a kit lens would. If you lose your kit lens, this is a good replacement for it. But heck, better lenses can be had with just a little more money.
I discovered that mine won't go to F4 at the widest setting. It will at 31mm. The rest of the time it is at F5.6. It's going back to the store and I'll spend a little more for a Sigma or Tamron or Canon in the same range.

seems to hunt after focusing on close object then focusing on a far off object. (wierd)

I think overall this lens is nice for the price paid. Very nice pictures. Will call Tamron on the hunt issue.
