Latest Review Posted | Tamron Adaptall-2 SP (19AH) 70-210mm F3.5 An outstanding lens with only a couple drawbacks. It is extremely sharp once you drop it down one stop. So much so that I have to post process a fair bit if I take a close portrait or else the world becomes your dermatologist.
The build quality is top notch but heavy. There is no hint of zoom creep. The focus throw is enormous if you include the macro range, but it is very precise.
Given that it is only half a stop slower than a 2.8, I can't really fault its weight, but it does get tiring after awhile.
If you have the skill or time to learn how to manually focus it is well worth finding. |
