July 6, 2020 Tamron SP 85mm F1.8 VC Long Term Review

In 2020 I’ve been doing a series of long term review of lenses that have managed to stay in my own personal kit for years on end.  I evaluate these lenses using my current review techniques and with the unique insight that comes with knowing how well the lenses have held up to real world […] [Read more...]

June 29, 2020 Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD (A071) Review

Tamron continues to flesh out their lineup for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) with another intriguing new entry.  Even those who buy expensive, full frame cameras sometimes want a single lens solution for outings or travel where bringing a big kit along isn’t really an option. The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD helps t [Read more...]

June 20, 2020 Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD Image Gallery

Tamron continues to flesh out their lineup for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) with another intriguing new entry. The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD helps to fill the role of a competent all-in-one/travel lens for full frame mirrorless, though with a much better optical performance on most measures than what I typically see.  [Read more...]

April 27, 2020 Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD (A056) Review

The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD is one of the most highly anticipated lenses of 2020…and that became clear from the moment that it was announced.  Tamron has taken a different approach to its fast zooms on Sony.  Sony’s own zooms are feature rich and high performing, but they are also at the top end of [&helli [Read more...]

The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD is one of the most highly anticipated lenses of 2020.  It is a fast, reasonably compact F2.8 telephoto zoom for Sony full frame mirrorless, and provides an alternative to either of the Sony 70-200mm zooms.  The 70-200mm F2.8 GM costs more than twice as much ($1199 vs $2598) and weighs [&hel [Read more...]

A couple of months ago I had a look at the Tamron 24mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 along with the 35mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 lenses.  These lenses were part of a trio of highly similar prime lenses from Tamron designed specifically for Sony FE (full frame E-mount).  The third lens was not ready at the time, […] [Read more...]

January 6, 2020 Tamron 35mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 Review (F053)

The Tamron 35mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 (F053) is one of a trio of new prime lenses for Sony FE recently announced and released by third party lens maker Tamron. Tamron first entered the FE space with two zoom lenses (17-28mm F2.8 RXD and 28-75mm F2.8 RXD) which have been very well received, and now Tamron […] [Read more...]
