Tamron 28 75 f/2.8 lens review (HD viewing)

I can't say enough about this little lens from Tamron. Stop using lenes which sift the aperture over the zoom length. Pros will always use lenes with an apeture of f/2.8 or faster.

Well I obviously did back then. But, I haven't used really any UV filters for about the last year or so. Thanks for the comment

Could you use this lens for weddings and get excellent results compared to the sigma and canon equivalent?

[sandiegoweddinpics]

@jonshark1 Well, I suppose you could if you are really on a budget, but I wouldn't. I would invest in L glass. The only reason I say this is because at receptions where light tends to be low, you might find the AF to be a little slow and hunt. But, it could be done and it is certainly a viable back up lens.

What's the autofocus like for this lens? I've been reading in several places recently that it's slow on the new version (this version).

[sandiegoweddinpics]

@elektriksheep in good light the AF works very well and is accurate. in low light it can be a bit slow. not unusable, but slower than you might like

[sandiegoweddinpics]

That's an awesome price! Id jump all over that if I were you. It is a great lens for a beginner who wants to keep it well into the future too.

i'm using Tammy with my 50D and i must say it's really great. The AF is bit slower than Canon USM system but i don't mind. Sharpness, colors, bokeh it's all fantastic with this lens and the best thing is price!

Canon please stop being so expensive... ;)

@Slint1000 Not too sure why you'd start out with a 5D in the first place...?

@jonshark1 Grab yourself a 50 f/1.8 to compliment the 28-75 lens. Cheap and will help you in low light. This is of course assuming you're on a full frame camera. Otherwise, just get the Tamron 17-50 non VC

[kulafus1]

ill get one of this....thanks for the review

Great video... I am thinking about upgrading to the Tamron 28-75mm from my 18-55mm canon kit lens. How does the Tamron's autofocus compare to the kit lens. Maybe it's 'slow' compared to a higher end lens, but how does it compare to the kit lens?

[nightgroover]

I never thought that professionals (like you) used UV filter .... and if this lens is so cheap, I certainly would not mount a additional glass.
