tamron qns

[khairi]

I've always read abt Sigma and Canon lenses n so far would only purchase/try out lenses from either one, so i know little abt tamron lenses.

so what tamron lense model can i look out for if i want to cover from wide angle to mid tele? comparision between tamron and sigma lenses, if any...n are tamron stuffs more ex than sigma?
Sites and links and photo samples are welcomed.

frankly, i really know little abt tamron stuffs so need to learn more abt it.

The legendary Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and the super sharp Tamron SP90 macro lens. Two of Tamron's best offerings...

and my fav walkabout lens 24-135mm .. pretty handy

yeah..has anyone here tried the Tamron 17-35mm f2.8-4 ? there are some very good user reviews of this lens on the net but haven't really heard much of it being mentioned here on clubsnap nor its cost.

24-200mm f/3.6-5.6 u mean?

I own one. The picture quality definitely rules over the EF-S 18-55. Focusing a little slow. A little soft on the longer end, vignetting still ok when stopped down to f/8.0. If ur eyes not as sharp as mine, f/5.6 still manageable.

Good walkabout lens, but abit heavy. Till I can get something to cover in the range of 17/18mm-50mm, I'll dump my EF-S.

You forgot the Tamron SP AF 180mm F3.5 Di LD(IF) Macro 1:1. Another superb lens, also up there with the best.

i've seen photo samples from the 28-75...it sure is cool...i too read that there's a macro version of it...or only the macro version is available? i duuno...

i found out that, I could be wrong here, sigma dont produce a cool zoom lense from the wide to 80mm focal length...that's y i'm looking for other alternatives...

i've tried the sigma 18-50 previously...and it's soft for most of my shots...

for a walkabout lens...i could be settling for a sigma 18-125...

rite now...i want to get a lens from 24 to 80 focal length with f2.8...and the tamron 28-75 fits the criteria...i'll use it for low light shoots that i'll doing nx year...but whats the price like for the 28-75?

does tamron have good wide angle lenses? can recommend.

FYI, plz take note that the Sigma 18-125 cannot be used on a film SLR

Ever asked about the 28-75 f2.8 at AP, quoted me around $560.

take note that from what i read from Fred Miranda Forum, some copies (in US) of the 28-75 are not sharp right out of the box and had to be sent back to Tamron....do we have the same problem back in S'pore..... but I think should not be a problem if we buy from a reputable shop...we could always go back to the shop for an 1-1 xchange......
