Opinion:I had some doubts before buying it also because I didn't have the opportunity to try it before but as soon as I arrived, mounted and tried I was immediately impressed by this optics. The distortion at 20 mm is minimal but on the other hand the rendering even at the edges at full aperture is really very good considering that it is a zoom. The only real flaw it has is that in the rest position (i.e. zoom not extended) it is at 40 mm while logic would have liked it to be the other way around, but on balance it is not a real defect. Good news for night owls: from about F9 the lights become stars and at full aperture the stars do not suffer noticeably from coma or aberrations.
Opinion:An almost one-of-a-kind lens, light and compact that starting from 20mm allows you to leave even the wide-angle lens at home. For many genres it could be the only lens to carry around, possibly flanked only by a telephoto lens, if necessary. Excellent image quality, quiet and precise autofocus, nice blur at 40mm, plus the close focusing distance allows you to get creative. With the fixed 2.8 it adapts very well to indoor situations with low light and night photography. It's become the lens that I always keep attached to my camera. On the A74 I can use it in apsc with the simple press of a button, reaching 60mm equivalent. Maybe if you look closely in some situations you can detect a slight vignetting or a slight distortion, but overall nothing particularly noticeable and that cannot be solved with a click.
Cons:Unstabilized, the zoom is done by retracting the lens.
Opinion:Excellent lens I use it in combination with the tamron 50-400mm. The only flaw is the lack of stabilization and therefore becomes mandatory on the camera body in particular situations. For the rest excellent quality / price even if slightly plastic. Very light. The image is already sharp at full aperture and the focus is responsive within the limits of a third-party.
Cons:Lack of diaphragm dial and programmable button
Opinion:Light and compact, already very sharp at full opening but improves by closing a little. It has an autofocus like the original sony lenses for more quiet. The fact that when zooming towards the 20mm from 40mm extends very little means that on the gimbal you do not lose the balance. I found it really good also on a constructive level. I use it in the video and I must say that at the moment there is nothing like this price.
Pros:Excellent weight and size, therefore: easy handling. Barely imperceptible distortion, af fast and responsive, it has no vignetting.
Cons:At the moment: nothing!
Opinion:A great all-rounder, at least for my needs. Compact and lightweight, already very good at f 2.8, beyond it becomes sharp. Through the "TAMRON Lens Utility" software, by connecting the lens from its connection port via the USB connection cable, you can customize the functions and update the lens firmware. Personal customization offers flexible shooting options to suit your shooting situation, such as photography or videography. With the help of the personal configuration, the lens can be optimally adapted to the respective shooting situation, such as photos or videos. Price-performance=9.
