The optical quality of the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II Lens is excellent (especially for the price). I find my images sharp even when wide open at f/2.8 at all focal lengths – I do not hesitate to use this lens at f/2.8.
What does The Tamron 17-50mm di II VC LD aspherical mean?
Tamron calls this the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF). This marketing baloney means: Di II: Only works on 1.6x and DX cameras, won’t work on 1.3x or 35mm or full-frame cameras. VC: Vibration Control, same as Nikon VR or Canon IS. LD: Same as Nikon’s ED or Canon’s UD glass. Probably all comes from Hoya.

What’s the difference between the Tamron 17-50 VC and non-VC lenses?
The non-VC 17-50 is a bit smaller and lighter. Obviously the 17-50 VC has the 4-stop-rated (I didn’t test this yet) stabilization advantage. Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC Lens’ AF is loud. AF speed is not bad, but the noise deceptively makes the focusing seem slow. VC is also loud.
