4.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro Wide Angle, September 29, 2005

By	J. Yeh (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

19-35mm for 35mm, and equal to 35-56mm when used on 10D, 20D, Digital Rebel/ Rebel XT. 35-56mm is really not that wide, but where else can you get a cheap wide angel like this? (unless you have 20D/Rebel/Digital Rebel and have the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens)

As far as picture quality, I think it's fine. You can notice the distortion when focus is 19-20mm. Straight line is not exactly straight, but it's a common problem for mid and low end wide angel when used on shorter focus. It's a $200 lens, I expect this problem before I bought it.

Compared the picture taken on this lens and the Canon kit lens 18-55mm. Pictures on this lens is a bit sharper than the ones taken on 18-55mm, but the different is hard to notice unless you look closely.

This lens comes with hood. That's a plus.

It's 77mm filter thread.

I think I'd recommend this lens if you have a 28-105 or 28-135 walk around lens and need a wide angle. If budget is not a problem, go for Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L (around $700). If money is tight, this Tamron 19-35mm will do.
