Tamron SP AF Di II 10-24mm F3.5-4.5 | | Latest Review Posted | Sigma EX Aspherical DG DF RF 20mm F1.8
I looked at the reviews before I bought my copy and was a little concerned by some of the comments, but the price that I managed to buy it for was so good that I really couldn't pass on it.
After having spent a couple of days with it, I am very happy that I have it. I find it to be sharp, particularly stopped down to 2.8 and above, it's relatively light compared to comments above and handles well. I have so far noticed no problems with vignetting, even wide open and the brokeh is quite pleasant. I don't know if I have a particularly good copy, but I am certainly pleased with it so far. We will be in Italy this fall and I suspect that it will be just perfect for interior shots without flash.
At $670 MSRP or even Street $519, I would probably not buy it, but at what I paid for it, I am jumping up and down. Yes, I certainly would recommend it if the price is right.
12/10/2010: Update to the above review. I wanted to add a couple of comments after out Itay trip this fall. This lens performed magnificently inside the historic buildings that we visited in Tuscany. Images are very sharp, colors a true to nature, and I was able to bring home shots that I simply could not have gotten with other lenses that I have. I actually left my Pentax 50 mm F1.4 at home to save weight and am actually glad that it did; the 20 mm focal length was much more practical in the monuments than the 50 mm would have been. I am very pleased with the results and recommend this highly. | |
