| Latest Review Posted | Tamron LD 75-300mm F4-5.6
This was the second lens I bought for my Pentax, the first being a 50mm f/1.7 manual lens. The sharpness on this lens can be good IN THE RIGHT circumstance. Any high contrast areas and you will be editing out a lot of chromatic aberration. You know what I love about this lens though? F/45! I used f/45 to stop down the sun during an eclipse. Not recommended but I did. I didn't even know that small of an aperture came on these lenses.
Anyway. Would I recommend it to a friend? Hell no. BECAUSE. I would recommend my friend save their 50-100 dollars and buy something at least decent. I have since made an investment into a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8, and while that is a 2 to 10 situation, even a Pentax 55-300 or a sigma 70-300 will be better than this lens.
You get what you pay for. |
