Tips on choosing a third-party lens for travel photos, portraits, landscape or weddings

Do you want to upgrade your kit lens to make photographs as portraits, wedding photos, landscape photos, family photos or to accompany you traveling? You can choose lenses made by a third party, such as a standard zoom lens made by Tamron or Sigma.

When you buy a DSLR cameras, particularly Canon or Nikon, usually you get a kit lens 18 - 55mm. Perhaps you want to have a lens that you can use to create portraits. Many people who advise you to choose a fixed lens. If you rarely use, I suggest you select a zoom lens 17-50mm f / 2.8. You can choose Tamron lens 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical IF or Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM.

Why is that?

Tamron lens 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical IF manufactured is a sensible option upgrade. Why does it make sense?
