My New Lens: Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC!

When I came home to Seoul, South Korea after finishing my summer semester,
guess what was the first thing I was looking for.

that's right...

It was this lens.
You have no idea how happy I was to get this thing.

I bought a used Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC lens from my former teacher for whom I designed the "Jc Kalculus" logo.
He lost the box for this lens, so I was only able to get the lens just by it self.

No matter.
As long as the lens is functioning well, I'm perfectly okay with not having the box.

The lens was in a great condition:
there was no front or back-focusing problems, it was pretty clean, and he did say that he only used this lens for about 10 times.

Here's a comparison shot with the T3i body and the 18-55mm kit lens.
The Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC lens is definitely bigger, bulkier and more beautiful. :D

This is my T3i with the 18-55mm kit lens mounted on it.

If you compare the last two pictures, you can see for sure the new Tamron 17-50mm lens is so much bigger than the kit lens.

Since I now have a better lens,
I'll take a good care of it and also take some nice pictures with it!
:D
