The Tamron's 50th Anniversary 24-135mm lens has been widely rumoured to be a great walkabout lens with its versatility and acceptable aperature of f3.5 on the wide end of the lens.
However, I've found that I got vignetting problems on the 24mm to 28mm range of the lens. And these problems are not vignetting effects from the lens hood. I'nm just wondering if anyone who's ever used this lens has experienced the same problem as me or that there is really something wrong with my lens?
It cannot be acceptable for Tamron to "hang lamb's head and sell dog's meat" right? It leaves me with an effective 35mm - 135mm instead.
Here's a sample image to show what I mean when I shoot at the widest - 24mm.
I think this was shot with a lens hood attached. I can't remember. But I'm sure its at 24mm focal length though. Pardon the scratces on the negative.
Hope to hear comments and advice on you guys on whether I should send the lens back for servicing, exchange or just resign myself to fate. I bought the lens in May 2004.
Thanks
