I think the warranty is 3 years.1 + 2 years extended through Tithes marketing. Originally Posted by oTaRu

Re: Tamrom 17-50 f2.8
Used both before.
The L handles nicer, feels more solid, is great to take around, doesn't extend during focusing or zooming, and focuses quietly and quickly.
The Tamron is value for money, performs quite decently, allows one more stop of light than the L, feels a little too plasticy for my liking, handling isn't as good as the L (but that's just me), focuses really near, and quite fast also.

HI the F2.8 really comes in handy for low light shots, esp in enclosed environment like a room even in day time.

Yes. Check out the stats on the Tamron page if you will. MFD (minimum focusing distance) is 0.27m. Originally Posted by isomers007
