Digital camera Review: A Utilitarian Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
no doubt a very functional lens...it has great range and is comparatively very compact for what it does...the aperture is fairly standard...and it's offered at a relatively affordable price.
how you like 'em adverbs...hehe
all that being said...I've stopped using this lens and pretty much rely on my Canon 50mm f/1.4 now (while i save for the 35mm)...obviously I'm not taking too many telephoto shots...the Tamron will give you a decent functional photo...but I prefer the bokeh, color and sharpness of the latter...the canon turns out some beautiful photos (vibrant and w/ depth), the tamron always look flat by comparison...I also enjoy shooting in really low light (no flash), so I found the 3.5 aperture unsuitable in those instances.
on a side note, I think the tamron's build is very high...but I've put it through so much use and abuse that the rubber grip now comes off the lens body...tho the rest is pretty sturdy (in fact I've even used it as a seat on one occasion).
so in conclusion...if I was out on an expedition, could only take one lens and was doing research I'd take the tamron...but if i'm off with family or friends and want to create something beautiful I'd go with another lens.
