p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · Does anyone shoot the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 VC? | |
I got the lens today, plugged it into the D600 and walked around the house before dinner tonight. so far it's met expectations.
I handled the Tamron 35mm 1.8 VC in the store when I was 35mm shopping last Summer, and this lens has the same construction. Meaning, it's very very well made and solid. It's a pretty big lens. Not as big as the Sigma 50 but anyway bigger than any other 50 I've owned. Doesn't seem out of balance on a D600 though.
Without any adjustment whatsoever it might be in focus sync. Gotta test it out. The focus speed is noticeably unfast. First time I used it I thought aloud, "yah, this thing is not very fast." I didn't use the word "slow" because it's a bit faster than slow. Just not fast.
Min focus distance is very very close! I would call this lens a Macro if I worked in marketing at Tamron.
VC is good like every other Tamron lens, they seem to have this stuff nailed. This ornament was shot with the front lens element maybe 4 inches away. Probably could not have got away with f8 without the VC here.

The horse was shot at 1/5 second, cropped and put thru View NX-i. Couldn't have got this with the 50 1.8G. Sorry for the crude tests. I'll keep on using this thing and share thoughts.
