Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I ended up going for the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC. Other than the VC, the size and weight of the VC was larger and overall the lens seemed a little better built than the regular version. I'm very satisfied with it after one day of shooting so far.

The VC motor is very loud when you use it and the lens hood on it feels a bit cheap. Other than that, the image quality is pretty good, especially for just $640.

Thanks for the recommendation for Dunne and Rundle as well. I went to their shop at Bentall Centre and they had the two lenses I wanted to try out in stock. The lady behind the counter seemed very helpful and their prices were very competitive. $10 cheaper than other places locally for the lens and $10-$15 cheaper for the filter. Would definitely shop there again over places like Future Shop.
