35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 Lens for Sony Full Frame/APS-C E-Mount

Bought this for my husband’s camera. He loves it and says it does what he needs. He uses it indoors and mostly outdoors. Small enough to fit in his camera bag. Perfect lens quality and sharpness. Great speed. Worth the investment for any photographer

Amazing sharpness and smooth bokeh at all apertures. Autofocus as if it was an older generation lens, noisey, slower, but good enough to capture my kids running at the camera and macro of flowers getting blown around by the wind. Looses track and racks focus too often. Still giving it 5 stars for the best image quality of any f2.8 35mm lens on e mount while having decent AF and incredibly cheap price. No chromatic aberrations, super sharp even wide open and smooth out of focus areas at all apertures...

I already had the best 35 mm the sigma version 2 but I wanted to use a less expensive one for travel and you get two benefits from this one. You get the 35 mm focal length and you get the half size macro so you can't lose.

Am just starting out with a A7C. I shot mostly antique furniture for online sale, and needed something that would let me work in my dark and tight studio. I was looking at other 35mm lenses with a lower f stop then my kit lens' f4 which is practically f5 when at 35mm. Though there are many other 35mm with a lower f stops than 2.8 of this Tamron, the macro capabilities and the current price sold me. With macro, this has saved me time swiping lenses when I need to get just one or two pictures of something close up like a scratch or a label. It has worked out really well so far, and at 199.99 may be a sleeper of a deal. For what I am doing, the picture quality has been good, though I have not done much with outdoor photography. With what I saved on this compared to some of the other 35mm lenses from Sony, Sigma, and Tamron it self, I was able to also get a Sony 50mm 1.8 used which I have also been looking at.

I have been working with this lens for about 8 weeks now on an onging project. The autofocus is subpar and pretty loud and slow but this can be easily mitigated by just manually focusing images. The images this makes are razor sharp and it looks so so good and the lens preforms all around amazing and at this price point it is hard to beat.

Takes very good pictures.

This is a great lens for the price, and I would recommend it to anyone on a budget, who needs a good walking around lens. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -Affordable - You won't find much better at this price -Good Sharpness - Good center sharpness at wide open, only slightly soft in corners, mostly unnoticeable -Macroish capability - focusing distance is close, under 6" -Good color reproduction and contrast Cons: -Noticeable vignetting at wide open aperture - easily fixable in post -Slower autofocusing -Autofocus motor makes audible clicking noises - might not be good for video, fine for pictures

Wow. Talk about exceeding expectations. Took a chance on a “plastic fantastic” lens on sale, as I wanted a lightweight 35mm prime. To say the least my expectations were, um, managed. What a pleasant surprise when images from this modest lens absolutely blew me out of the water. Sharp from edge to edge, good color rendering, and almost weightless. Highly recommended. Wish Tamron would make a same-format 50mm f2.8. Based on this len’s performance, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

I have just purchased this lens as I wanted a cheap 35mm for occasional use. A lot of people complain about the auto focus being slow, this might be the case if you want it for video work (I never shot video ), but for stills it is more than adequate. The quality of the images and the sharpness is excellent with the added bonus of very close focusing. I have tried it on my Sony A1 and Sony A7cr with excellent results and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

If you're chasing maximum sharpness with autofocus around the 35mm range and on a budget, this is the only choice. Yes, the autofocus motor is optimized for it's 1:2 macro reproduction, but it works plenty fine in a lot of situations. For video use, I would recommend another lens. This lens renders amazing images and is simply outstanding on my A7R III. You can really see those 42 megapixels. I can't help but zoom into pictures with I take it with this lens and seeing all the details.

For the price of this lens, you should get it and keep it for casual use. Great for indoors in not so dark areas, close up shots such as food/items. The only problem is the slow focus speed when you move fast. But, for this price its acceptable.

Wowww......tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III lens fo sony full frame...greattttt picture quality....cheap and quality product...

Si bien el lente no es el mejor y tampoco aspira a serlo, si es muy bueno, y mas cuando lo consigues por 4K aproximadamente, yo lo compre principalmente para foto en una sony a6400 y es hermoso, brinda una nitidez excepcional desde su apertura 2.8, es cierto qué hay mejores pero dar el salto del lente kit a este es simplemente fabuloso. Ahora bien, en video también es bastante bueno, tiene su ruido que hace al enfocar y en enfoque continuo es muy pronunciado, pero si ocupas un micrófono externo o ya tienes el audio que ocuparás es fenomenal, jamás perdí el enfoque y da un excelente seguimiento al rostro, por ahora es mi único lente, pero no me arrepiento de hacer esta compra, incluso pensé en el sigma 30 mm, que dicen que es muy bueno, pero para mi basta y sobra con este lente por ahora.
