There have been a variety of high end wide-angle zooms and primes released over the past 4-5 years, but very few in an important demographic – the affordable end of the full frame spectrum. Tamron is looking to address that with their new 17-35mm F2.8-4 Di OSD lens. It sports a nicely weather-sealed body in their mid-grade design along with a solid optical performance. The 17-35mm (A037 is Tamron’s code for the lens) sports a nice size and weight as well, and should definitely be of interest for those with a full-frame camera that are either on a budget or looking for a more compact zoom with a wider maximum aperture than most. I’ll be breaking down the design of the lens and its autofocus performance along with a detailed image quality examination in my review, but in the meantime you can check out my hands on breakdown of the build and design below along with checking out the images that I’m taking during the review process. Stay tuned for more content and coverage of the 17-35mm OSD along with the new Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 VC G2!
