評價:
I just recently start playing DSLR, i am using 400Dkit. firstly i wasn't so sure that i should but extra lens at the start so i prefer to have to kit set for me to practices. After about 2 Trip Travel around, i have start a little knowledge of using my NEW TOY haha. So i start thinking of buying a new lens. Before i buy the Tamron SP AF 17-50 F/2.8 i am using the kit lens, i think is better than the normal handy DC (Panasonic FX09) i was very satisfly. So i start picking my lens. After read all the website and DC fever i choose this lens due to many reasons.
1) Firsty is not that expensive and is a very affordable lens (HK people style) from a DSLR starter i wouldn't want to spend too much now due to the reason that i would like to learn in more technical skill on photo taking not just buy the really expensive lens and use it like a normal handy DC,
2) NO stock all the time but very lucky that recently they have stock.
3) DC fever all user give it a very high pts.
So i guess that must be some reason people would give such a high pts for this lens.
So i brought it at the end.
After that i just love it, It is prefect for 400D,
i recommanded all DSLR starter to buy it at the start and forget about the Kit lens, i believed that who ever wish to buy a DSLR, this cost for the body is already ($5800 around). So i think i most people would like to pay a little bit more for this lens ($2700 around) and save up the money on the kit lens end up you will be more satifly on this lens. But i believed that once you get onto this lens you will get addicted on DSLR. The kit lens is crap really, once you touch on DSLR i won't like it once you try the Tamron SP AF 17-50 F/2.8.
after a short while i also brought the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. Which is also a excellent lens for starter to take photos of people.
Any brothers can suggest me the next lens i should buy ? Please e-mail me kingston_009@yahoo.com.hk
