one for myself, and one for a friend that wanted one. you can't beat this lens at this price point ... until you get into another price category and grab the 17-55 and just forget about walk-arounds for crops heh

the tamron lacks corner sharpness in general. and the VC version supposedly is not as sharp as the non-VC. your other option would be the sigma with OS but at that price you mind as well get the canon/nikon one. a lot of people like the sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 OS too.
