Re: Official: Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058)
I tried out this Tamron 35-150 for a bit yesterday. It is a nice lens and I am sure it will have its use cases. For me it is not the right form factor, too large and heavy.
I will keep using my Sony 24-105 f/4 for this use case.
I shoot an a1 with 50mp.
In the types of shooting I do, I value the short end more and do not want to give up 24-35mm FLs.
At the longer end the Tamron is only 1 stop faster. The lighter weight of the Sony, and built in OSS more than makes up for the 1 stop in low light when hand held.
I can step in a few steps and get very similar background blur.
I can instantly switch to APS-C mode when I want a longer field of view.
The Tamron 35-150 feels well built, is nice and sharp. For anyone who has a need for a responsive portrait lens in this FL range it will create beautiful images, and be a good addition to their kit.
