I am an enthusiast who enjoys taking pictures of the family. I did some research on a low light lens and found great reviews on this lens. The Nikon version is out of my price point so it was either Tamron or Sigma. I have not been disappointed with my choice. I just got back from a vacation and I am very pleased with my pictures. The 17-50 focal range is ideal for family photos. If you are a beginner and buy a DSLR, do yourself a favor and get a fast lens like this one. This lens takes great pictures in low light and the optic stabilization allows great handheld shots at 1/40 of a second. I use a Nikon D5100.

What's great about it: great focal range/good for low light or no flash photography
What's not so great: the autofocus motor is a little loud, but not an issue for me
