Strength:

No surprises here. 1st copy I bought turned out good. Made in Japan. Almost as good, if not better in some areas, than 17-40L.

Weakness:

No IS. Not Canon-L quality in sharpness and contrast, but better than its older cousin 28-75.

Tameron's newest zoom. Initial impressions are good. Sharp throughout zoom range except slight softness and 17mm and f2.8, to be expected.

Customer Service

Better not. Just got it.
