Pros: Focal excursion, construction quality, color and sky rendering, blurry comparable to a fixed (at 105mm) cost, Minimum distance maf
Cons: Slightly soft at the ta edges at 28mm (just close a couple of stops) heavy and bulky. Easy to flare in the presence of light sources in the frame
Opinion: I was looking for the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 to use on the nikon d600 to have an all-rounder and bright zoom, I came across this lens of which I ignored existence, and, thanks to the low price, I bought it without thinking too much about it. From the very first photos I was struck by the color rendering, they were the same shades that the CCD of the d200 gave me, and without pp! It's as sharp as many other current zooms, at 28mm it loses a bit of sharpness especially at the corners, but who shoots landscapes at 2.8? Closing a couple of stops is ok. Already closing it to f5.6 you can forget the diaphragm. I feel very good about using it with the flash inside, but also as a handyman it goes great, except that it is really heavy and cluttered not a little. On apsc it goes even better in terms of sharpness (of course) but moves the focal excursion too high, good only if you make portraits. Now we come to the sore notes, as I said with its 850 grams it is nice brick, I recommend using it with battery grip, to have a more comfortable grip. At the focal point of 105 mm it doubles the length, plus its lampshon( do not buy it without, it is not found) is huge. It's not a lens that loves versus light, Flares are guaranteed and intrusive ( you don't need the sun, sometimes even a very intense fillet creates problems). If we compare it to a sacred monster like the Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 is obviously lower, but the focal point is 30 mm wider. Building a lens with this focal and 2.8 fixed extension involves compromises, see flares and softness at short focal points, but if you're looking for a zoom with a focal extension that doesn't force you to keep changing, that's bright enough, and that's used under 150 euros, this Tamron is unbeatable. In my model the antitrust slip works perfectly, when inserted it does not stretch even bringing the machine around the neck and jumping, when it is disengaged you can zoom in by directly moving the front optical group back and forth, very fast and practical. For me a nice 9 selo deserves everything 18/02/2021 Almost a year after this review, I can only confirm the quality (at least for my needs) of this perspective. In this period I often thought of replacing it with something more modern..... I tried the Nikkor 24_120 F4 but the blurry did not convince me and the distortion at 24 mm feels a lot, it is sharp, but even the Tamron is if closed at F4 or 5.6. also tried the sigma art 24-105 F4 better than the Nikon both as a yield and as a construction, blurred so sharp, but we always return there to F4..... In the end, comparing them to this dinosaur of the analog age, I don't see all these differences, at least for the use I make of them, such as to justify an expense of 500€ or so. With all its limitations (not stabilized) and its flaws, it remains an excellent lens for me, especially at the price at which it is found today, which, makes its difettucci take second place. I confirm the vote, 9 full! |
