Love all three lenses and coming from Nikon DSLR, I am loving the smaller form factor. That brings me to my main point. Tamron 28-85 is awesome. I am not shooting charts to assess its weaknesses and strengths, but for general purpose family, walk around type of zoom lens, it is a great lens and I find its IQ quite nice. That being said, I find it less balanced (front heavy) and more bulky than my two primes. I also enjoy prime lenses more than zooms. It's just make this hobby more enjoyable IMO.
I am wondering if it might be better for me to get 35mm f/1.8 for its lightweight and compact size and return Tamron 28-75 (still in the return window). I read/watched a bunch of reviews on 35mm and it seems to be a good lens with bad corner performance and strong fringing issues, but I understand there is no such thing as a perfect lens. It seems like Tamron is a better lens in terms of IQ and more versatility.
Has anyone used both lenses and can give me your first hand experience and thoughts? I might get used to Tamron's weight in a bit; I really like it. If I had budget I would get both and try it myself, but unfortunately that's not the case.
Thoughts and Suggestions?
