What do you guys think about the Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR ZL Di LD. I'm considering of getting one myself. I have a few lenses but, I need a fast lens.
:( :( :(

What do you usually shoot? Depends on what your preference is. Do you really need a lens with max aperture 2.8?

Hello erb,

How much is your budget? Have you considered the Canon 24-105mm f4 L. or if you have a tight budget you could look for a good second hand 28-70mm L which you should be about cheaper.

You can go for prime lens, 50 f1.4, 85 f1.8, 100 f2.8, and 135 soft focus (can be used without soft focus enabled) are all good lenses and offer the narrow depth of field for reasonable prices.

Don't worry its still up to you. :)

Try getting a Canon 50mm f/1.8. It's fast and nice. I tried my friend's 7D with the cheapest prime that money can buy. :)
