- First goal received: There was a sparkle in the lens.
I chose the refund. But after that, I think and I thought that maybe I was wrong fallen? In short, I retried the blow.
- Second receiving objective: New problem, there was a slight scratch on the edge of the lens.
I admit it, in desperation, I almost keep still. No, not about keeping a lens with a scratch on the lens ... "Next time will be right ..."
- Third received objective: Grand pending before opening the cap before ... And I discovered that the objective was full of dirt in the barrel!
So I do not mind a particle or two can return with time and use, but here we speak of this dust before use, like what the dust flying in Tamron factories. It must be said that the goal is tropicalized said, so he is actually perhaps, but the factories at Tamron are very far from being ...
- At that moment, I told myself that maybe is it a bad series that was refourguée Amazon, so I decided to demand repayment to redeem it in another online store. Arrive delivery and so my last bad surprises, the new product has one hand still dust in the barrel (a little less this time, bravo Tamron), but also, it has the characteristic squealing strongly in video mode when the focus is, quite unpleasant squealing that would almost cringe. In short, I was reimbursed by the site. And that was the last time.
I believe I have shown patience unmatched facing Tamron is a shame because the optical quality is not bad at all anyway, but such defects are unacceptable. And beyond all that, it is very big, very heavy, very ugly, and without finesse. Why insist?
Finally, there are two alternatives to this goal of your case, or you switch to fixed focal Canon (this does not return you much more expensive), or either you have the means (or save you) to buy you Canon 24/70 2.8. Depending on your decision, you will certainly lose the stabilization and the practicality of a zoom, but sometimes it is best to make certain concessions, so to get a quality product, rather than just poorly designed products for lack of means.
