makes my lens only fun, sharp and to the point, thanks to the light intensity is the cropping of the foreground are pure enjoyment. Processing is in my opinion absolutely fine, nothing stiff or making noises. Focus speed is comparable to the standard fast lens, which only then come with me to use if something more is required Weiteinkel. Have long hesitated whether I Sigma 17-70 or this Tamron lens is expected to grow me and have finally decided because of the continuous aperture of 2.8 for the Tamron. For me it was the right decision, it has become "increasingly it" my lens.
