Re: Tamron 17-35mm vs Canon 10-18mm

Well the tamron 17-35 isn't really a very wide angle lens on the t3i. I have one and use it on a 6D and 5D where it is a wide angle. My copy works fine and produces some great shot, but it is an old lens.
For a crop body the tamron 17-50 f2.8 would probably be a better bet. I had one when I had my t4i and used it a lot, it has great IQ and a constant f2.8 throughout the range and gives you a bit more reach.
But again, 17mm at the wide end isn't exactly ultra wide on a crop,the 17-50 is more a 'standard zoom' .
So if you really want ultra wide the Canon 10-18 or 10-22 are your best options. I had the sigma 10-20 with my t4i but was never really that impressed with my copy.

Good luck with your decision!
