Whats the di?

I believe di lenses are 'optimised for digital'. I guess this basically means that the edges are soft but it doesn't matter if you use it on a crop body.

I've got the Tamron 17-35 which is great, but I'd like a little more reach. The 17-50 sounds ideal so it would be interesting to hear how you get on with it.

Di is digital. Glass is multi-coated.

reduced image circle like EFs and sigma dc, they will produce dark edges when put on a full frame camera.

just got to punt my 17-85 now. putting it on ebay when I get home.

I've got the Tamron 28-75mm, its super sharp and comparable to Canon L lenses (apparently), not very wide at the wide end but I have a wide angle to cover that area anyway.

Highly recommended!
