Tried four copies of the lens: two had stuck diaphragm blades, one had fungus and the last one had been dismantled and was unacceptably dusty. Finally found mine, but I paid the price. Build quality is ok if you find a good one. The lens is quite small. It's sharp with good bokeh even if only f/3,5....

Had the chance to bought it for a decent price but unfortunately it was the SX version. Lens is sharp with good bokeh and nice colors, build quality seems serious, but was not able to focus to infinity. Tried to modify my adapter but it didn't work. Finally ended up selling it... I think it's worth ...

Bought this lens "by accident"... It was in bad conditions, focus ring was very stiff. But I tried it and liked the results so much that I bought another one. I only used it on a micro 4/3 camera because I wanted to play with the good minimal focus distance, it's funny on a 50mm but really amazing o...

I picked this up with an Olympus OM10 for $25 so the actual lens was cheaper. The iris seemed a little sticky at first but some exercise seems to have loosened it up. Focussing seems easy and it has a sort of macro available at 135mm that is easy to facilitate. Unf ortunately, for me, it is not as ...

I think this became my favorite lens ever ! Bought my first one to use as a 85mm equivalent on an APS-C camera... and sold it. It was sharp, nice to use, smooth bokeh, but I felt nothing special. Finally found a good deal on a second hand one and bought it again for my new Sony A7... And even if my ...

This is my second favorite lens behind the Voigtlander 58mm f/1,4 Nokton, and probably my most used since I got it. The lens is beautifully made, even if less compact when adding adapter. Handling is great. 40mm focal lenght with close focus abilities is very useful and versatile on full frame. Shar...

Tried this lens briefly but I finally did not keep it due to odd focal lenght. It's really small and nicely made. Handling is pure pleasure, as usual with Voigtlander. Sharpness is good even wide open, a bit of chromatic aberrations but it's not a major issue. Bokeh looks good, even if not as smooth...

Had two samples of this lens. The first one had been used and probably abused, it was good but with a noticeable lack of contrast. The new one is almost mint and performs much better. Love the fact that an adaptall lens can fit every camera mount, even if the adapters are usually expensive and somet...

I like the lens - but will not rate it, as I don´t really know how good a lens must be to get a certain rating. I like it so much that I liked to put a protective UV-filter on it - which the lack of a thread for filters makes rather difficult. I still bought a 82 mm Hoya UV - turned it around so t...

This Tamron lens is very very good optically (surely by far the most important aspect of any lens) ! Sharpness is wonderful and out of focus areas are smooth and I like them a lot ! AF speed (on Pentax K-70) is ok, it hunts sometimes but AF noise is horrendous )-: MF is easy enough to implement (p...
