Reason for selling: I thought I needed f/2.8 for my portraits, but I ended up rearranging my lens lineup and this doesn't fit anymore. I just bought this from a Fred Miranda member, so I've only had it for a week. The lens is in absolutely perfect shape and has no marks anywhere on the body or glass. Again, it will come with the warranty card AND original receipt, so if there are any issues the lens will be covered for the next 4 years by Tamron.

So what's your lens quiver now? You're doing as much lens shuffling as I did ski shuffling the last few years

Well, I bought four lenses originally and realized that I only need three right now. I have:

Canon 70-200 F4L
Tokina 50-135 f/2.8
Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 or something similar. I actually bought a new Sigma 18-125 OS HSM, but it arrived broken so I sent it back and I'm looking for something else in that range instead. I'd really like the Canon 15-85, but can't really justify spending $600-700 for that third lens.

the 28-75 is a great lens, I have the nikon equivalent and love it. much sharper than I expected.

Yep, its definitely a sharp lens from the shots I took... it's just that unfortunately the range isn't practical considering my other lenses, and I'd rather use that money to upgrade my 40D to a 50D or 7D.

I've been eyeing this lens but unfortunately with a Nikon mount. I borrowed my father's for a day and fell in love with it.
