Which uwa zoom Lens do you have to complement it ?
I hesitate between sigma 14-24 or Sony 16-35 GM because of the copy variation on the sony.
I have been using the Sigma 14-24, but after buying the 35-150, I went ahead and purchased the 16-35GM, even though I couldn't find a copy as sharp as my Sigma. At landscape apertures, the GM is close enough to the Sigma in resolution to warrant other considerations being the determinative factor, including focal range and filters.
Even though the Tamron 35-150 is on another level compared to the 16-35 in terms of resolution, their range is extremely complementary, and the fact that they both use 82mm filters means one filter system for both. I've been using the Kase and K&F magnetic filters with them and have been pleased so far.
I went from having my 35GM glued to my camera body to now intentionally forcing myself to use the 85DGDN and 35GM to justify keeping them. This Tamron is just so useful.
That being said, in DSLR land, Tamron manufactured a 17-35 f/2.8-4 and a 35-150 f/2.8-4. Considering they've now made this 35-150 f/2-2.8, maybe, just maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a 17-35 f/2-2.8 in the next year or two. If it can take 82mm filters, that will almost certainly replace my 16-35GM.
And because this is the image thread, here's a couple images of the two lenses, and a recent one taken with the Tamron testing out the new lighting I purchased during black friday.
