So technically the Tamron AF 24-70mm f/2.8 SP Di USD VC surely deserves our "highly recommended" batch. However, remember that its zoom range isn't overly attractive on APS-C DSLRs and the lens is also substantially bigger, heavier and also more expensive than the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 USM [color="#FF0000"]L[/color] IS which remains a more obvious choice here in our opinion.



While I agree the 17-55 has L performance, it does not have the red ring.
