Very cool lens. I just traded my 70-200 2.8 Canon L series for this and a 12-24mm Sigma lens. So far so good. Attached is a picture from the first shoot I used it in. |

Excellent picture, I like the amount of distortion the lens provides. Of course I can't make any kind of assement on the quality of the lens as this is a simple jpg dithered down for the web, but it does look rather impressive. A co-worker of mine was telling me that he's talked to serveral pro photographers that swear by the professional line of Tamron lenses. Do you have any experience with them? |

The only Tamron lens I used was one I borrowed from a photographer friend of mine Alex Pascual - it was a 28-300mm. I had figured that it was going to be better than my consumer grade Canon lenses (I had a standard 28-80 and an 80-200 before I got my L series lenses) and did all my shoots with it while I had it, but later on I noticed that the pictures that I shot with the Tamron were noticably lower in quality than the ones I had shot with the consumer grade Canon lenses. Could it have been just that particular lens? Perhaps. I haven't used a lot of Tamron stuff, but I can say for sure that the 28-300 Tamron that I was using really, really sucked. I'll post some examples when I'm feeling a little more 'chipper'.[/url] |
