Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD : Specifications and Opinions

pubblicata da Budi Haryanto May 20, 2012

Pros: the glass is superb for portrait; lightweight for walkaround; less expensive with great price/quality;

Cons: slightly focus hunting in lowlight; low build quality

Opinion: If you are not specialist in wedding or important portrait reportage, this lens is perfect for you. The glass, I bet, is exactly on a par with another luxurious 24-70 L lens. When you combine with a crop camera for walk around all day long photo activity , with total weight lens + camera less than 1 kg, it won't make your neck suffer and you'll get satisfaction with the result.

Pros: bright, good value for money

Cons: af slow, long lens for APSC, too soft to 2.8

Opinion: A good lens that I bought second-hand. It amuses me because it is very light making it possible to reduce the depth of field, the focal length is not optimal for the APSC (on canon equivalent to a 45-120). At full aperture is a bit 'too soft but just close a stop sign and gives good details. The focus is internal, so as not to rotate the front lens and the construction looks solid. Unfortunately, the autofocus is slow and does not have full time manual focus.

Pros: Price, quality of the blur, sharpen

Cons: Slow and noisy AF, build quality is not excellent

Opinion: On APS-C is a bit 'long when used as primary optics when used with a 10-20/22 can be part of a camera kit. THE build quality is not up to canon, even the series USM, plasticky and games, but returns good images, copy in my possession at the minimum focus is sharper than a canon 24-70 I had, but resists slightly flare, and many times moving shots loses focus. On a FF (21mpx) the use as optical all-around, with excellent results

Pros: bright, minimum focusing distance, price, quality lens

Cons: unusable wide open, system focus embarrassing to say the least, lack of adjustment to manual focus when in autofocus

Opinion: It 'a goal that has a quality / price ratio very good, I bought it for 2.8 hours but I must say that TA is so soft that the pillow where I sleep in comparison is made of marble! However, some closing stop the lens becomes a real blade, made amends abundantly its softness and its motor (ino-ino eh!) Focus: slow, noisy and inaccurate (especially in the absence of a good deal of light). It's not really macros, but has a minimum distance that you can still make decent enlargements. Summing up I can recommend it, as long as there are weapons of patience ... My vote is seven

Pros: Value for money, color rendering, minimal distance of focus, clear if closed at least one stop

Cons: Too soft to 2.8 hood very plasticky.

Opinion: It 'a lens, good value for money, clear closed if at least one stop: a 2.8 is too soft, but it definitely improves already f.4 to become really very good from 5.6 onwards. Beautiful color rendering, similar to the 24-70: Tamron tends to saturate less the image. The AF on my 5D II works well: of course not as reactive as a USM, but it is quite accurate and I have not found it ok. Thanks to its magnification and if you have special demands, can partially compensate for the absence of a Macro. Dignified the construction, even if the hood is too plasticky. In short: if you do not pretend sharpness at 2.8, is a good alternative to the Canon 24-70 especially considering it costs only a fraction (1/3) of the same.

Pros: brightness - quality / price ratio -

Cons: Having regard to the price you can only criticize the hood too plasticky, lack full time manual focus

Opinion: paid 350 euro in physical store, I took away a lot of satisfaction, soft at the edges wide open becomes a blade closing of a one-stop, from the best of at f8, construction and strong enough when used on APS senori C-need to bundle it with a good wide angle, unfortunately in backlit conditions resistance to flare is not a reference, excellent color rendering

Pros: bright, good blurred the minimum distance of focus, light handy, good quality and price.

Cons: slightly soft at f/2.8

Opinion: I took this as the first Tamron lens for my Nikon D7000 Body at first I was a little puzzled not finding opinions and discussions where there was talk of this lens then when I decided to take it I realized its potential you can not help it not recommended for both quality and price bargain luminoso. crystal clear and none to envy targets Nikon.

Pros: Good sharpness, brightness and price

Cons: Autofocus noisy

Opinion: A great lens especially for the value for money. APSC of 28 mm are long, but the range of focal lengths is great for street, wide open allows you to get great portraits even though it is a little soft. The color rendition in my opinion is good and the internal focusing facilitates the use of polarizers. Lacks the full time manual focus and zoom tends to themselves when hung on the neck if you do not get stuck with the lever. Overall a good lens that makes her figure even on FF.

Pros: Image quality, macro, brightness, price

Cons: Feeling a little plasticky, focus a little strange on aps-c

Opinion: Some critics focus slow, but I've never seen as a problem. Beautiful blurred, excellent image quality, excellent color rendering, bright and can also be used as a macro (ok is not 1:1 but is comfortable in many situations). Sold only uncomfortable because of aps-c but the pass to the FF riprenderei the fly.
