Tamron 17-35mm

[sloth]

Just wondering if anyone has had any personal experience of the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4?

Any opinions on the lens would be great, especially regarding build quality, sharpness, colours, autofocus speed etc. Alternatively, recommend me an alternative wide zoom. It'll be used as a standard walkabout lens on a 350D.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone, very helpful. I've read a few reviews and user comments, and it really does look great for the money.

I'd love to see some more samples taken with it, especially wide open.
