| Latest Review Posted | Tamron SP AF Di LD Aspherical [IF] 17-35mm F2.8-4
I bought this to replace my excellent DA-16-45mm as I'm gearing up for FF. I was a bit worried it wouldn't match the 16-45mm as it has been such a great lens on the Samsung GX10, the GX20 and more recently the Pentax K-5. I needn't have worried. The Tamron matches the Pentax in sharpness and CA performance is better. The 77mm filter doesn't bother me too much. 77mm filters aren't too expensive if you hunt around and I also have a 77mm adapter for Cokin P.
Along with my Tamron SP 24-135mm and an old SP 60-300mm, I'm ready to give FF a try. Will hopefully add a couple of FF primes before that arrives.:)
(June 2021 update) After over 4 years of non use, I'm happy to say the 17-35mm works well on my recently acquired K-1.:) |
