The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharpness, compact, not too heavy, rather precise MAF, faithful colors, absence of chromatic aberrations or distortions.
Cons:For now, nothing.
Opinion:I've had several 35mm, and now I've got this one. It has nothing to envy to an Art series in terms of sharpness and three-dimensionality of the image, pleasant blurred but nothing special. The performance is already excellent at 1.8, improves from f.2.8 up to f5.6 after which it remains unchanged until f13 (I did not notice any diffraction or loss of sharpness even at f16). Chromatic aberrations almost completely absent in backlight, no distortion (tested with in-camera corrections turned off). Colors faithful to reality, not too pumped up or dull. MAF precise and quite fast, silent, there are better lenses (but I don't see the point, since we are at 35mm and we won't have to hook a hare!). More compact than other lenses designed for SLRs, well balanced on my R6 mkII. If you are looking for a bright 35 with excellent performance, value for money the Tamron is unbeatable. He will remain my travel companion for a long time.
Pros:Brightness, effectiveness of stabilization, functionality, anti-glare treatment
Cons:Weight, soft yield, hood
Opinion:This lens has always intrigued me: there are not many fixed ones equipped with stabilization for the Nikon F system. A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to try a particularly unsuccessful specimen full of chromatic aberration and focusing problems. What I ended up buying is pretty good, despite having to fiddle a bit about the internal AF adjustment on the D750 and D800. Solved that, I find myself in my hands a lens that feels very comfortable in reportage, as it happened to me in these days having forgotten it on the machine I use for services. The stabilization really works, with a little attention you can shoot at a fifteenth of a second without losing too much sharpness. But above all the stabilization allows you to shoot by lifting the camera up and framing in live-view: who knows why the photos I take like this with the Nikon 35 1.8 are almost always blurred, while with the Tamron there are no problems. It holds up well against the light, little chromatic aberration especially at the most open diaphragms. Of course they just stopped producing it.
Pros:Focus from macros at a minimum distance. Stabilization. Construction. Price
Cons:The fire in the dark that sometimes releases
Opinion:Well-built and sealed lens, for professional use, with an extremely competitive price. The G2 series has taken a clear step forward, for construction, look and substance, employing quality lenses and sealing it from dirt, dust and maybe even water. The issue of lenses 1.4 different from those 1.8 begins to make me smile (not a problem)... I'd figure it out from a 1.8 and 4.5. Portrait set and reportage are his bread, but it also enters some macro-like applications having the ability to focus at very small distances, this combined with a lens 1.8, allows macros or shots "dreamed" with an artistic style. Normally the lens uses it to medium diaphragms and honors the VR that works well. In the dark you have to understand the slow machine body pairing, because the only downside is that it loses fire every tot. With light it's perfect, in AF with darkness can test you. The solution is the best flash in sequence, sure you don't get it wrong (maybe you canni a shot). For architecture, I would use dedicated lenses, this a compact lens, for street, portrait set and reportage. For the front and back focus: CONTROL THE MACCHINA CORPO ! It often depends on the fact that you don't take her to make a cut for too long. If in doubt, the F-B focus, adjust it with the Tap In and the panel. Mine didn't have these problems, in case there's a solution. Ps.: except Nikon and Canon, who have very high quality control (but also to them something runs away), the bright lenses, can suffer from front and back focus. I'm going to over-recommend it.
Opinion:I have been using the Tamron with attack A on my Sony (a7 before and a7rII now) thanks to the la-ea4 adapter that I already owned: practically I no longer detach it, given my fondness for focals between 35 and 40. The overall performance is very good, with a sharp enough sharpness even in landscape photos with 42 megapixel sensor; there is a bit of a chromatic aberration visible in the backlights, with which to live. The chromatic rendering is vivid but at the same time delicate, without abrupt and dominant tonal passages. The distortion is almost imperceptible and, architecture aside, there is almost no need to correct it. The focus is quick and precise, but in my case with the limitations due to the use of the adapter that make the lens-adapter-machine set less performing in the choice of the right subject; The af/mf selector is very comfortable and functional, as is the dial. It's a well-built lens, although a bit big and heavy to be a 1.8, which gives the best of itself in the set portrait, but that is also good for the landscape, given the sharpness.
Pros:A little everything: construction, overall yield, minimum distance of fire only 20 cm, resolve detail, bokeh, sharpness (excellent even at 1.8), stabilization, value for money.
Cons:One relevant only: chromatic aberrations (even insistent) green and magenta in the blurred and bright areas to F 1.8 and F 2.0, typically difficult or frankly impossible to eliminate in post. But nothing serious.
Opinion:Arrived at the third month of use and several hundred shots, he became a loyal companion, in low light situations but not only. It is relatively heavy and massive to be a Prime, but it is all obvious constructive quality, with a Q/P ratio not to let it run away. The AF may not be the best in speed and accuracy but honestly it seems to me that you do not miss a shot, unless I do nonsense (which happens frequently) and I have nothing significant to say about the speed. I found him, looking carefully with the ruler of the DSLR Kit, a little ' Back Focus, but it was little stuff and it was easy to fix (on D800). In "Real Life" I did not even notice and the shots were in focus where I expected they were. The stabilizer, certainly not the best on the market, still works well up to more than two stops: I have pretty much all sharp shots at 1/10, almost all at 1/6 and many even at 1/5. They save 4-5 on 10 to 1/4, while it is not the case to go over freehand (sporadic successes at 1/3, but not sufficiently reliable or significant beyond luck). I would say much more than enough. Sharpness and resolve details are superb, even at F 1.8. The focus with vague "Velleità macro" at only 20 cm is fantastic! The Bokeh is excellent while not lacking in flaws (some "Onion Rings"). The figure-Background detachment is well "three-dimensional" as you want in these cases. A F 1.8 and F 2.0 can appear insistent green and magenta aberrations in bokeh and high contrast areas, it is practically the only flaw that I find noteworthy. But it is nothing dramatic, and if there are no backlights or strong contrasts, it becomes irrelevant. The vote is 9.
