Re: Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD Image Thread
I am thinking about letting go of my 35GM, as I barely use it anymore and even when I use it, I don't really see enough difference in the IQ of 35 GM and Tamron 35-150 to justify keeping both lenses. After using 35-150 for 8+ months, I am comfortable with its size and weight and don't usually reach out for the GM as a smaller option. The flexibility of zoom and convinence of not changing lenses make up for all the tiny minor points against 35-150 IMO.
However, I feel strange about not having a fast, wide to normal range, prime in my bag. Am I going to regret selling the 35 GM? Has anyone else retired a prime lens after owning this amazing lens? Perhaps 50/1.2 GM is a better companion lens to 35-150; in theory it should be different enough to justify keeping both in my kit.
