Google for "problems tamron 17-50" and you get nearly 400.000 hits.
I guess, Tamron would be more than happy if they sold 400.000 units... Sometimes those "problems" get echos form everywhere, between "I knew it! Ha!", "Mine has probably the same issues" and "yes, I gave it back and got me XYZ"
I was also not very happy some time ago with it and sent it to service, but I guess you get what you pay for. I just had too high expectations and that never goes very well in this price region.
