Hi All
I discovered that Tamron has developed a 35-150mm f/2-2.8 lens (for Sony E-mount) ... and wow, this lens would be great (it would be even better if it also came in RF mount). You can find more information on this lens via the following link to Tamron's website press-release
It is a useful focal length, and appealing relatively wide aperture for certain applications. I have been searching for a lens like this for some time.. and would use it for event photography - including birthdays, weddings, camps, church and Christian events, and other celebrations. Event photography is one of the photographic genres I do - and often get requests for).
I would certainly want (need) AF to be speedy and accurate... and hopefully the RF protocols would be able to do that - if opened up to 3rd party manufacturers.
Also, it would be a great bonus is Canon's IBIS worked seamlessly and effectively with this Tamron lens. In fact, that would be an important factor for me to consider purchasing it (or not).
So, CR friends, my questions to you are:
1) would you find this a lens useful - if so, what would you use it for?
2) depending on the price (and other factors) - would you likely add this to your lens collection?
DPReview also posted about this lens' announcement, saying "Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD for full-frame Sony E-mount on the way"
It seems a lot of forum members there would love to see this lens for Canon RF mount (and Nikon Z mount too).
Regards
PJ
