Product Overview

Tamron 17-35mm F2.8-4 Di OSD is a wide-angle zoom lens for Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Tamron in 2018, it has 15 elements in 10 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Tamron 17-35mm F2.8-4 Di OSD is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Tamron is kind enough to include weather sealing.
The f/2.8 maximum aperture is quite bright for a wide-angle zoom lens and can be quite valuable for night photography, though an ultra wide-angle lens may prove more interesting. It can also be quite interesting for landscape and general photography. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD is one of the most affordable wide-angle zooms we've seen for full-frame cameras. It's very sharp, doesn't have any major issues with flare when shooting into the sun, and doesn't add too much size or weight to your kit. There are some drawbacks, but I'll take some distortion and a vignette in exchange for savings in size and cost.
Pros
  • Sharp, sharp, and sharp
  • Works natively with most SLR systems
  • Compact design
Cons
  • Bulky barrel effect
  • No stabilization
