Just bought a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 non VC. Did some test shot with it.
Overall is not bad for a walkaround lens, but i guess i will love 35mm f1.8 more if i got chance to test it.

But some how i get out of focus issue on this picture... the focus point is placed on figurine's head.
i took 2 shots at the same spot but still getting similar result, i wonder is this caused by environment lighting or my lens got problem or it just happen on all tamron 17-50.

I believe you were standing too close to the subject.

You must understand your lens specs. The cloesest focus is 0.27meter/10.2 inch is about 1 feet less. Give it a try again. If problem still persist remove all the filter. If still persists then try manual focus.
