Tamron AF 28-75mm 2.8 XR DI LD ASL SP Macro Lens for Canon digital (Accessories)

Customer Review

Have the objective now for 3 months in use and am mostly very satisfied.

+ Focus: In Aperture 2.8 is still very soft, starting at 3.5 but noticeably better. (Of course, my must not forget that the depth of field is very low at this aperture: that is, those photos are likely to act 'softer', although the sharpness zone fits perfectly.) At f 5 knackscharf.
+ Contrast performance above average - almost fixed focal length level!
+ Strikingly beautiful bouquet
+ Autofocus. For a 'non-ultrasonic motor "fairly quickly and quietly Accuracy I can as the owner of an EOS 450D not sure judge, because this camera also produced with L lenses sometimes incorrect measurements After some 1000 photos I would. say precision not quite on top level, but satisfactorily in a car race the 70-200 4L USM has clearly produced more clearer photos - a direct comparison is probably not quite fit .....
+ Weight: at least significantly lighter than the Canon 24-70 2.8L ... Both the 450D, as well as with the 5D is the Tamron comfortably in your hand.
+ CA: Could virtually no notice - for the price top!
+ Distortion: slight barrel distortion at 28mm, otherwise barely visible.
+ Vignette: virtually no on cameras with crop sensors - details on full frame below ....

o Processing / feel: For the price surprisingly well made. Zoom and focus ring are handy and smooth. The area of ​​focus could be greater calm. Really precise manual focusing is difficult. The switch, which prevents using the zoom, you can without shifting hand 'flick off' with his forefinger - if you're in a hurry. I like it :)

Supplements for use with full-frame cameras:

According to Tamron lens should be fit for full-size. Did they therefore recently on a 5D Mark II tested compared to the Canon 24-70 2.8L

+ Sharpness: sharp even at full aperture format from approximately 3.5 up to the corners. The Canon 24-70 2.8L is only marginally better. Hats off - really top !!

+ CAs: minimally visible in the corners, here is the 24-70 2.8L slightly better. Cost more than 3 times. Also on VF a very good result for Tamron.

- Vignette: Have some series made with all focal lengths and different apertures. Result:

28mm: useful only about from Aperture 4,5-5.0. In Aperture 2.8 EXTREME vignetting at all corners. Proves at least that my Tamron is well centered :)

35mm-75mm: useful from about 4 aperture, but definitely worse than the Canon.

Actually Tamron should not be called a full-frame fit this lens. Or. if anything, would be the designation 'Tamron 28-75 4.5' appropriate, because under Aperture 4.5 is definitely not suitable for VF.

o Distortion: Again, is visible at 28mm distortion again, slightly more than in the crop sensor. For larger focal lengths very low distortion.

My Conclusion:

* Unbeatable on Cropkameras for the price
* Sharpness even at full frame cameras surprisingly well
* CA's scarce
* Distortion at the bottom yet - but just about acceptable for my applications.
* Vignetting on crop cameras virtually absent. In full-frame, however, with large aperture EXTREME. Who can live with it, until about 4-5 aperture to photograph is also on a VF camera with the Tamron his joy - at the price!

Supplement on 20/12/2010:

Hab now the Tamron on my EOS 3 (analog, ie full frame) also extensively tested and some photos with Aperture 2.8 made - in protest quasi :)) The results were (at least 15cm to 10 x Photos) surprisingly well. The above-mentioned vignetting is visible on any photo, am saying is in practice probably largely negligible. Who landscape is photographed with blue sky safely conclude at f 2.8 darkening in the corners. But who already makes landscape photos in broad daylight with Aperture 2.8 ???

My conclusion after 1 year with the Tamron 28-75:

- CA's minimum
- Low distortion
- Precise focus: In total I had surprisingly few incorrect measurements
- With large aperture vignetting at full-format cameras in place, but in practice hardly relevant.
- Also on full frame good, although you should ask as the owner of a full-frame camera already, whether the use of a 'cheap lens' really makes sense. After all, who can afford a 5D etc., in my opinion should not save even the lens. One thing is certain: Both the Canon 24-70 2.8L, and the CANON 24-105 4L are better than the Tamron - though not at the price / performance ratio.
- Unbeatable for the price

Finally, let me say that the Tamron 28-75 2.8 is ideal for all those who take pictures with cameras Crop and plan the transition to low-cost full-frame or as I still occasionally work with analog equipment, ie old film camera. Because one can only buy time, the housing and later set if necessary still an L lens. Priced at only 360, - is really nothing lost ...
