Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8

My lenses finally arrived this past Saturday from BuyDig. I only got the XTi body so I needed to get a standard lens. At this stage I'm not ready to go all out on lenses so I compromised and got this one, which, though still not very cheap, had decent reviews. Below is the unboxing.

In the box were:

• lens
• manual
• lens hood

I took these shots with a lens that arrived earlier (the "new lens" I refer to at the end of the first post), the Canon EF 50mm F/1.8, which many say gives the most bang for your buck, priced around $70. It has a very shallow depth of field, which gives these pics their look. These were taken in low light because the sun was going down. During sunset my room turns orange/pink, which these pics hint at.
