Tamron 17-50 2.8 non BIM non VC
- Thread starter jamesco
- Start date
When I helped 3 frds to get the 17-50.. I tested all the copies in the shop only 1 or 2 is sharp.. As in no front or rear focus issue
ohhh hmm there is always a risk but u can always see the sellers ratings =D for that price its worth it IMO, in consideration that there is no warranty and PRAY hard that it does not break in delivery lol...

you can order to them by ebay and payment is by paypal.here's the link
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290473196340&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Why I interested even though the warranty doesn't covers in Singapore ,this brand new item price is cheaper than the 2nd hand prices here...Here sellers are asking above $500 for the out of warranty lens
Last time I bought a 2nd hand Minolta lens from HK the packing was excellent

Sorry to hear that.
Well, I got a super sharp 17-50 at first try.
I also got a super sharp 28-75 at first try.
I also got a super sharp 90 at first try.
That is 3 out of 3 hole in ones. It is either I am very lucky or you are very unlucky.
I get slightly more problems with Sigmas.

Hey guys,
Just wondering what the price for the non-VC version is in SG now? The tamron price guide hasn't been updated for a year+ already. Would it be better if I buy it through ebay instead? Dzone2 from hongkong is selling it at USD392 for the non-vc version.
The only thing that I'm worried about now after reading all these comments is that I'll be unlucky and get a non-sharp copy
Any tips/comments would be appreciated thanks

Did yours come with a local 3 year warranty? I know that buying a gray set from ebay would only come with a 1 year warranty. Realised the price difference is only about less than 100SGD, seems more wise to buy locally if it does come with the 3 year warranty.
By the way, was your tamron a good/sharp copy? Did you test it out at the shop before buying it? Thanks!

I had a look at the website and it says you can only buy the lens at their brick and mortar shop. So it should come with a 3 year warrant
Hoping to get mine soon but still abit worried after reading all the comments about non-sharp copies

BIM= Built In Motor
this is for the nikon version becuase some Nikon bodies doesn't come with a autofocus motor, so the lens itself needs to have the BIM
VC= Vibration Compensation
this is the anti-shake function like the IS(canon), VR(nikon) & OS(sigma)

How much does a non-grey set costs? The tamron price guide hasn't been updated for a year already.
That's weird, snipshot said he bought it from artworkfoto but got a 3 year warranty :dunno:
