Tamron-F 28mm F2.8
Latest Review Posted Tamron-F 28mm F2.8
It's a heavy lens, coming in around 300 grams. The DA 16-45 is 360 grams on my scale. My copy had a nice smooth focus and the click stops on the aperture ring were snappy.


I've only taken some casual shots with it and rate it good. I haven't seen any purple fringing with it, One of these days I will compare it against my DA 16-45 and DA18-55.


Why would I use this lens over the DA16-45? I guess I wouldn't unless I wanted something slightly faster for night photos.


But for the price I paid, $20 USD , it is an optical bargain. It's the Tamron F series, which I think came in different mounts for other cameras.


Edit: I have now compared this lens to my DA16-45 on my K100D and it's hard to get the same results. I believe some of that is focus. For flowers ar 12 inches, images look comparable. For a landscape, the better focus with the AF lens makes for a crisper image.
