I think the warranty is 3 years.1 + 2 years extended through Tithes marketing.
What do you mean by glass coating wearing off?
A pic i took some time back to test the bokeh & sharpness..

i also dont know leh... i heard from some photographers...
Upgrade to full frame in future ? = 17-40 f4
Silent/faster and better build ? = 17-40 f4
Often shooting in low light? = 17-50 f2.8
Need a longer zoom range? = 17-50 f2.8
Value conscious ? = 17-50 f2.8

If you will using the lens for occasional potraits..the f/2.8 might come in handy..

Used both before.
The L handles nicer, feels more solid, is great to take around, doesn't extend during focusing or zooming, and focuses quietly and quickly.
The Tamron is value for money, performs quite decently, allows one more stop of light than the L, feels a little too plasticy for my liking, handling isn't as good as the L (but that's just me), focuses really near, and quite fast also.

hi,
can it go pretty close? thx.
can it go pretty close? thx.
lsl03 have basically listed out the important factor...
as for performance, tamron is up to the L, some even said its sharper. contrast wise, normally the L would have an slight edge tho.

oops...know the answer to my question already. thx.
Yes. Check out the stats on the Tamron page if you will. MFD (minimum focusing distance) is 0.27m.
