So, after years of pouring over the 58mm 1.4 thread, I feel I have found the 'poor mans' 58. I just picked this lens up and am blown away with the quality I'm getting. I didn't see a thread for this lens, so I hope it's ok to get one going.

An image from a family session from tonight. I used the 45 sparingly, being my first paid gig with it. But, I do like what I am getting from this lens.

Bumping this awesome piece of glass back up to the top! I'm using it out in Colorado this week.

Great images. What camera are you using?

I'm considering this lens or its 35mm sister to fit between my Nikon 20 and 85, so keep'em coming!

I'm a D750 guy. Balances really well on the body. I did have to dial in +7 on AF fine tune. But since then, razor sharp. Really enjoying working with it. This Saturday will be my first wedding with it. That always is a good judge.

I'd almost forgot about this lens actually, seriously considered its 35mm brother but I love the Sigma too much.... been looking for a 50ish and was looking between the Sigma Art 50 f1.4 (bloody huge) or the Nikon 58mm but this might be a late contender actually, great IQ although a little close to 35mm it doesn't matter too much to me!

I have been looking at the 58 for several years now, and the cost was just putting me off. Then I was exploring the voightlander options, but really wanted autofocus. My local camera shop walked out to show me this, I had forgotten about it also. Love the little different focal length. It's been a fun lens to work with.

I hope to get this lens one day. Keep the photos rolling in and Tamron will have my cash sooner.

One more from our trip to Colorado. Then tomorrow is a wedding day, we will really see how it performs under pressure! I'm looking forward to trying out the Vibration Control during a dimly lit reception.

We need at least one other contributor to this thread, and then..., Boom. An explosion of images will appear!

A couple more from Colorado last week.

My bump..., my bump my bump my bump! Still using this fantastic lens. It has been amazing for wedding receptions this fall. Vibration Control with 1.8 and the autofocus is keeping up. My new favorite lens.

Funny I’ve gone through the same progression. I’ve looked at the 58mm thread dozens of times trying to love it and envision it on my D810, but it just never added up in my mind for the cost. Then I looked at the Voigts, both 58 and 40, but again something didn’t add up.

Your images with the 45 are great. Either this or the 35 will be my next lens. While I’m leaning toward the 35 for its super close focusing ability, your shots with the 45 are really making me think.

Back to the top. An image from a few days ago in the woods with the puppy. Still really enjoy the Tamron and just added the Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 to the stable. I've been very impressed with their build quality and the images I am getting.

Had the 58mm and the 35mm 1.4. Decided to get this lens and get rid of both of those. So happy with this lens and got it for 200$ off.

First real test shot from the lens...with a D7200. Wide open. About 1ft shooting distance. Very, very mild sharpening.....Yeah, is a step above all Nikon plastic 50s..maybe not the 58mm..maybe..

I spent much of the late afternoon polishing my car's headlight cover. They were all oxidized and foggy. Not anymore. The CA was dealt with in CC Camera Raw. The CA was largely confined to the OOF area though.

F1.8

In case anyone is wondering if the lens can do sports? Only for slower pace sports. If you have subjects moving at you fast or away from you fast, the AF becomes 60% correct. Here is a shot of a cross racer trying to ride through the steps but couldn't make it the last step. the pace was slower.

Wide open at F1.8...
