Expert Advice The Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is an essential "upgrade" lens for portrait and event photography, offering much better low-light capability and subject separation than a standard kit lens. Its wide-angle 17mm setting makes it equally capable for landscapes and interior shots. Because it maintains an f/2.8 aperture even when zoomed in to 50mm, it is fantastic for capturing natural-looking portraits with a soft, out-of-focus background. We recommend using a high-quality 67mm UV filter to protect the front element of this versatile workhorse lens.
