This case is a prime target. I bought it when I got my A100, and I have seen subtle changes in image quality. (AL00 had a lot to be desired) After using it on my A700, which has a better focus and “Exmor” CMOS sensor, I am amazed at the quality I could get. It took a while to get used to the rapid development has, I press the shutter button halfway and, often, sometimes take a picture by mistake. good lens.

I am very happy with this lens after breaking it in a week on a cruise in Alaska. I relied on the capabilities of the Wide Angle Len higher than expected. F / 2. 8 Open in a minimum area of central Len in combination with my Sony A100 image stabilization to let me get many great shots in low light that would otherwise not have been possible. The focus has always been fast and accurate.

I am very satisfied with this goal that has replaced the kit lens 18-70mm. F / 2. 8 is good enough for indoor available light, so I used a lot for casual family portraits. Then when I go out I find his wide-angle (25mm equivalent) to be very versatile for street photography and urban landscapes (I even get in my chest, without looking through the viewfinder at 17mm, too hard and stolen portrait). The best part is that it is not a target price. For my photography, I really do not need to change lenses. There is also a sharp lens to go with my A700. No one complains.

I use this lens for a couple weeks now and I am very impressed by its quality. I used with my Sony Alpha A300 without any problems. I will compare it with the kit lens (SAL 18-70) who replaced him as the only wide zoom I’ve used.
Benefits: < , br /> The Tamron is heavier and stronger than Sony lens.
“It has better sharpness across the frame, but especially in the corners are a bit soft at f2. 8 (but still better than the kit lens) and becomes sharper as you stop down.
Use it for shooting indoors or at night is large compared to the kit lens.
-opening is 2. 8 In the zoom range, which means you do not lose light as you zoom in to 50mm.
-macro works pretty good, especially with the narrow depth of field, you get a big opening.
Cons:
“He does not like 70mm kit lens, but I checked on my existing pictures and hardly spent anything from 50 mm in all cases, plus you 17mm vs 18mm may be on the wide side.
weight takes a little getting used to, but in the right direction.
-A cheap, but not too expensive compared with similar objectives.
; Leger distortion at wide (17mm) end, but again, it’s not as bad as the kit lens and you do not really notice.
I really want to buy this lens again and recommend it to a friend. Certainly an update very good and useful lens kit SAL 18-70.

When I bought my A100, I was not overly impressed with the Sony lens that has been offered, and I was not about to spend money from Carl Zeiss. I had heard good things about the series of adjustment range and Tamron 17-50mm and in what I believe some time around the lens. The second 8 Open up are excellent, especially in combination with image stabilization camera housed in the Sony Alpha. I turned to hand in low light, with excellent results. I can not recommend this lens enough. If you choose to buy an Alpha, please body and make this case, you will not be disappointed.
