If you are comfortable buying used f2.8 PRO zoom APS-C lenses, the previously mentioned Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin Clearance includes the Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 SP XR Di II VC lens as follows:
+ the Canon EF mount is available in “Used – Very Good” condition (check each individual listing) for $203 with free shipping
+ the Nikon F mount has only one listing, “Used – Good” condition for $252~ with free shipping
The above two links are filtered so they only show the options sold and shipped by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself (in other words, Amazon proper). If you want to compare prices to the other Amazon Warehouse Deals sellers, here are the two links un-filtered:
+ the Canon EF mount
+ the Nikon F mount
In new condition, these lenses go for $650 at authorized dealers, such as B&H Photo and Adorama.
PS: in Tamron-speak, “Di II” is an APS-C lens, and “VC” is optical image stabilization (VC = vibration correction).
