Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Sony E)

Na 4 maanden wachten en enkele e-mails uitgewisseld met de klantenservice, heb ik deze nieuwe lens kunnen ontvangen en ik ben er absoluut tevreden mee! Het is simpelweg de beste investering van mijn leven! Het is duidelijk de lens die je nodig hebt als je je wilt professionaliseren. Nogmaals bedankt aan VandenBorre voor de winkelafhaling die op een zeer aangename manier verliep, evenals de e-mailuitwisselingen die op een adequate manier plaatsvonden. Duncan W.

Amazing lens, crazy price. Makes Sony look cost effective.

Good Points: Great versatile lens Improvement Points: A bit heavy but that's what you get for the quality

The Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD skips wide angle coverage in favor of a brighter aperture, making it a strong lens for event and portrait photographers, especially those who favor the blurred-background look.

The performance of some new lenses can be quite extraordinary, as is the sharpness in this case. Basically, whatever setting we choose the central sharpness will be excellent. At some points, the sharpness centre and edge is so close it can be considered to be totally even. The other qualities are there to be seen, measured without any help from the camera, but we can always switch in those corrections or use software to enhance the total result. It is true that the lens is on the large and heavy side, but this is down to the fast, bright maximum aperture of f/2, and the value of this should not be underestimated. Lenses are not just a collection of technical measurements though and it is equally important to consider the overall “look” of an optic. This can be as much a result of its technical limitations. The new Tamron has both qualities – excellent technical performance coupled with a very pleasing “look”.
