Re: Upgrading from Tamron 17-50 VC for event photography

I have used the 17-40L on crop and full frame. It is sharp to the corners on crop, and I used a 60D. If you are going to use flash indoors, the F4 won’t be a problem. The lens is faulted for sloppy corners with weird funky distortion in the corners on full frame.

If you are going to say with crop format, there are other options, including the 18-55IS, 18-135 and 15-85. I am not thrilled with F5.6 on the long end of the zoom, so I got the 17-40F4 before I got a 6D.
