Latest Review Posted Tamron SP AF Di II 10-24mm F3.5-4.5
I am satisfied with the Tamron 10-24. Images are very sharp with good colors. Compared to the Sigma 10-20 and Pentax 12-24, the Tamron 10-24 has a wider zoom range, costs less, and is a bit smaller. I give the lens a high score in most categories. Bokeh: I gave it an 8 here, mostly because the inherent nature of the lens (wide angle plus not very fast aperture) tends to keep most of the frame in sharp focus. Out of focus areas are gently softer rather than "full of bokeh". Autofocus: I gave it a 6 here because AF had some trouble locking-in. I press halfway, the AF motor spins a bit, gives up, but I don't get the focus confirmation. I estimate it happens 2% of the time (6 out of 300 photos). Note that I am not sure if it's this lens, my K-r, or maybe tricky subjects (but it's not purely a low-light issue; the problem can show up in well-lit situations). My easy workaround is to focus on a different spot and recompose if I don't get the focus confirmation. I've read complaints about storing the bulky lens hood, but I have no issues with it. I can slip the hood into a narrow empty space in my bag. I can also slide the hood around my 55-300 zoom or any other narrowbody lens for storage.
